Summary of the contracting process

NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit commissioned a secure, web-based electronic referral and waiting-list system for patients using NHS gender pathway services. It is intended to receive referrals and manage waiting lists across adult gender services, adult surgical services, adult hair epilation, and children and young people’s gender services. This is healthcare administration software, specifically a patient-administration system (CPV 48814200). The system is for services managed by the commissioning support unit; delivery is associated with Derby, England.

The procurement is complete and awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from the NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit Dynamic Purchasing System 2.0, under its Turnaround – Specialist Framework lot. The submission deadline was 24 August 2026. Blueteq Limited was selected, with an award dated 1 October 2026 and a value of £299,895. The contract period runs from 17 November 2026 to 16 November 2027. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the requirement covered the four gender pathway service areas described above.

This award demonstrates demand from NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit for specialist, secure web-based systems that handle sensitive patient referrals and waiting lists across gender healthcare pathways. A credible competitor when this requirement returns would need to show that its platform can support referral receipt and waiting-list management across adult and young people’s services, including surgical and hair epilation pathways. The buyer used a call-off through a specialist framework route, so relevant framework access and the ability to compete through that route would matter. The award also shows that the requirement was considered suitable for SMEs, making it relevant to smaller software suppliers with healthcare administration capability and sufficient capacity to serve several distinct patient pathways.
