Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured testing delivery and assurance services for the implementation of an Electronic Patient Record (EPR). The requirement falls within IT consulting, software development, internet and support services (CPV 72000000), with testing and assurance as the specific focus. This is a professional services requirement supporting the delivery and implementation of a major NHS digital system. The work is for the Trust and is associated with Lincoln County Hospital in Lincoln, Lincolnshire, United Kingdom. It is classified as a services procurement and is relevant to technology consultancies, specialist testing providers, quality assurance firms and delivery partners experienced in healthcare or other complex digital transformation programmes.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective call-off procedure from the Government Commercial Agency G-Cloud Framework, Lot 3 for Cloud Support. The tender submission deadline was 1 July 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to PROCEA LIMITED on 28 August 2026 for GBP 326,502.30. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 December 2027, lasting 16 months with no extension options. The published procurement value covered the full contract duration. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award information records one active award to PROCEA LIMITED. The procurement was evaluated through the framework call-off process.

This award provides a clear benchmark for suppliers targeting future EPR testing and assurance work with United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. A credible competitor would need to combine structured test delivery, independent assurance and practical support for implementation teams, with the ability to work within a cloud-support framework call-off. Experience of complex electronic patient record or other large-scale healthcare technology programmes would strengthen a supplier’s position, particularly where testing must support safe operational change and integration across services. The requirement was considered suitable for SMEs, indicating that a focused specialist provider can be credible alongside larger consultancies. Relevant capacity, experienced testing and assurance personnel, and evidence of delivering digital transformation programmes would be important when this buyer next requires comparable support.
