Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust procured an enterprise and departmental picture archiving and communication system (PACS), together with associated services. PACS software stores, manages, retrieves and distributes medical images and related clinical information across healthcare departments, supporting an NHS trust’s diagnostic and clinical workflows. The requirement is categorised as software packages and information systems, with services as the main procurement category. Delivery is in Leicester, at the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust’s Leicester Royal Infirmary site. The buyer is the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust, which required an organisation-wide system alongside departmental provision rather than a standalone, single-department installation. The requirement therefore concerns integrated healthcare imaging technology and the services needed to support its use across the trust.

This procurement has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender closed on 31 July 2018 at 12:00, and the award was made on 31 July 2018. GE Medical Systems Limited was selected for an award valued at £10,481,260. The awarded contract runs from 1 August 2018 to 31 July 2028. The procurement is complete and the award is active. The requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off route, with the contract covering both the enterprise and departmental PACS system and associated services. The opportunity was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The selected supplier is GE Medical Systems Limited.

For suppliers tracking NHS imaging technology demand, this award shows a substantial, long-term requirement from University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust for an enterprise PACS platform combined with departmental capability and associated support services. A credible competitor would need to provide healthcare imaging software and information systems that can operate across an NHS trust, connect enterprise and departmental workflows, and support the storage, management, retrieval and distribution of clinical images. The selection of GE Medical Systems Limited, recorded as a large organisation, indicates that the requirement was suited to a supplier with significant delivery capacity and established ability to support a complex healthcare environment. Relevant businesses should be able to demonstrate dependable implementation, service support and the operational resilience needed for trust-wide clinical use.
