Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust procured annual software support for Solus Endoscopy and Bronchoscopy systems. The requirement covers support for specialist clinical software used in endoscopy and bronchoscopy services, classified as an IT software package (CPV 48517000). It is a goods procurement, with delivery for the Trust’s NHS operations in England. The buyer is The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust. The requirement is specific to maintaining and supporting the Solus software used for these clinical functions, rather than a broad general IT support service. Suppliers operating in healthcare software support, particularly those familiar with endoscopy and bronchoscopy applications, would find the subject matter most relevant. The procurement was handled through NHS Supply Chain.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to HD Clinical Limited on 19 August 2026 for £49,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 19 August 2026 to 30 June 2027. The estimated procurement range was £45,000 to £49,000. The tender submission deadline was 27 July 2026 at 12:00. The award was made to one supplier, and the published outcome identifies the successful provider. The process was not designed as a direct open tender: participation was through the relevant framework agreement route. The requirement was assessed as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award provides a clear benchmark for suppliers competing for comparable NHS clinical software support work. A credible competitor would need to support Solus software used in endoscopy and bronchoscopy, maintain service continuity for clinical teams, and understand the operational demands of specialist hospital systems. Relevant capability would include diagnosing and resolving software issues, providing planned annual support, managing incidents and maintaining dependable communication with the hospital. Suppliers would also need access to the framework route used for this purchase, since the requirement was awarded through a framework call-off rather than an open standalone tender. The successful supplier’s profile shows that a focused specialist provider can serve this requirement, while the buyer’s decision indicates the importance of demonstrable product-specific capability.
