Summary of the contracting process

On 28th April 2026, the NHS London Procurement Partnership concluded the award stage of the tendering process for a contract concerning the Tees, Esk & Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust. The awarded contract entails the provision of an Electronic Patient Record (EPR) solution, a medical software package, for a duration of ten years without extensions. The procurement method utilised was selective, involving a call-off from the NHS London Procurement Partnership Clinical Digital Health Solutions framework agreement. The project is situated in Darlington, England, and the final tender period for this contract ended on 17th September 2025. With a total value of £3,942,847 GBP, the contract has been awarded to Access UK Ltd.

This procurement provides valuable opportunities for business growth, particularly for businesses specialising in medical software, digital health solutions, and technology provision within the healthcare sector. Although the contract has been awarded to a large-scale supplier, Access UK Ltd, a selective framework call-off approach suggests the potential for future opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in subsequent procurement exercises conducted under similar frameworks. Companies with innovative solutions in electronic patient records and healthcare software packages are poised to benefit greatly from participating in this industry. The project at Tees, Esk & Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust can be an appealing prospect for businesses aiming to expand their footprint within the NHS network.
