Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust procured medical information systems stock control software. The requirement is for software and information systems supporting stock control within a medical information environment, classified under CPV 48000000. The buying organisation is the NHS Foundation Trust serving County Durham and Darlington. Delivery is in the North East of England. This is a goods procurement delivered through a digital solution rather than a construction, facilities or general consultancy requirement. The selected solution is supplied by Optum Health Solutions (UK) Ltd. Businesses relevant to this requirement are software providers with products for managing medical stock information and control, particularly those able to support NHS operational environments and the Trust’s requirements across the North East.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. The Trust used a selective call-off from the Clinical Digital Health Solutions framework, reference 2024/S 000-032423. Optum Health Solutions (UK) Ltd was awarded the contract on 25 June 2026 for £363,587.93 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2028, with the tender describing two optional 12-month extensions. The tender submission deadline was 15 June 2026 at 12:00. The procurement was evaluated through the framework call-off route, and the published outcome identifies Optum Health Solutions (UK) Ltd as the active supplier. The opportunity was not reserved for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award demonstrates a defined NHS requirement for medical information systems stock control software, delivered through a framework call-off rather than an open standalone competition. A credible future competitor would need an established stock control product that works within medical information environments and can support NHS operational processes. Relevant capability includes software implementation, configuration, integration and ongoing technical support, although the procurement data specifically identifies the software requirement rather than listing detailed technical specifications. The incumbent is a large supplier, while participation was not reserved for SMEs, indicating that businesses assessing similar requirements should be able to demonstrate sufficient organisational capacity and dependable delivery for an NHS Trust. Framework access and experience supplying healthcare organisations would also be commercially relevant.
