Summary of the contracting process

The University Hospitals of Northamptonshire NHS Group, consisting of Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust and Kettering General Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, has completed a public procurement process for the provision of a DatixWeb Incident Reporting and Risk Management System. This process, classified under the software package and information systems category, took place in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The procurement followed a selective method through a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender, with a total value of £392,597, transitioned from the tender period ending on 30th April 2026 to the award stage on 19th May 2026. The contract duration spans from 1st May 2026 to 30th April 2029.

This tender presents considerable opportunities for businesses specialising in software systems, particularly those capable of delivering complex IT solutions including incident management and risk assessment platforms. Although the opportunity has been awarded to Specialist Computer Centres PLC, large-scale IT service providers could find similar contracts beneficial for expanding their portfolios in healthcare IT solutions. Such contracts promote business growth through long-term engagement and leveraging healthcare digitalisation trends. The focus on call-offs from framework agreements suggests an advantage for established businesses capable of meeting selective procurement criteria.
