Summary of the contracting process

Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured technical programme management services to support deployment of its Meditech electronic patient record (EPR) system. The requirement is IT consultancy focused on managing a healthcare technology implementation, rather than supplying software or general IT support. Delivery is associated with the Trust’s site in Norwich, Norfolk. The work supports the rollout of Meditech EPR; the procurement data does not describe particular project tasks or deliverables beyond technical programme management. The Trust is the buying organisation and intended user of the services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Xylem Partners Ltd. The award was made on 27 August 2026, following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The contract is valued at £180,900 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 30 June 2027. The tender submission deadline was 18 August 2026. The published procurement information does not set out the evaluation criteria or identify separate lots. The opportunity was classified as a services contract. SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises were marked as unsuitable for this requirement.

This award demonstrates demand from Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust for specialist programme management to deliver a Meditech EPR deployment. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to show hands-on capability managing the implementation of an electronic patient record in a healthcare setting, including the coordination and oversight expected of a technical programme management provider. The selected supplier is identified as an SME, although the Trust marked the procurement as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises; this is a relevant signal for firms assessing their fit. Providers should be able to deliver a focused, time-bounded deployment programme and compete through a framework call-off route.
