Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust procured a commissioning management system: an IT software package supplied as a service for commissioning-related management. The requirement is associated with the Trust’s Leicester Royal Infirmary site in Leicester, and falls within the services category. The system is intended for use by the NHS Trust rather than for a construction, estates or general hardware requirement. Businesses relevant to this procurement are software providers or technology partners able to deliver and support a commissioning management platform for a large healthcare organisation. The scope is described as a single commissioning management system, rather than a broader digital transformation programme or a set of separate software products.

This procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Bids were due by 30 August 2023 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Insight Direct on 30 August 2023 for £306,542, with the contract running from 31 August 2023 to 30 August 2028. The award is active. University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust is the buyer. The procurement was treated as a single requirement, with the estimated tender value and awarded value both stated as £306,542. The published information identifies the call-off route and the selected supplier, but does not set out separate lots or an evaluation weighting.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it is useful evidence of demand from University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust for a commissioning management system delivered at NHS organisational scale. A credible future competitor would need to provide an established IT software platform that directly supports commissioning management, together with the implementation, integration, service management and ongoing support capability expected by a large healthcare body. The requirement was fulfilled through a framework call-off, so suppliers targeting comparable work should understand relevant framework routes and be able to respond efficiently to a defined call-off requirement. Businesses that cannot support NHS governance, operational reliability and sustained software service delivery are less well placed for this type of opportunity.
