Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hertfordshire Community NHS Trust procured patient pathway optimisation services for its Eclipse system. The requirement is classified as IT software, covering the provision of software-related goods and associated optimisation services intended to improve patient pathways. Delivery is connected with Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, in the United Kingdom. The buyer is Hertfordshire Community NHS Trust, based in Welwyn Garden City. The procurement is relevant to suppliers of healthcare software, patient pathway management platforms, clinical workflow optimisation tools and related implementation or support services. It is a technology-led healthcare requirement rather than a general clinical service, construction project or supply of standalone medical equipment.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. It was run as a selective call-off from the SBS10144 Framework, rather than as an open tender. The tender submission deadline was 10 August 2026 at 12:00. Hertfordshire Community NHS Trust awarded the contract to Prescribing Services Ltd on 26 August 2026 for £100,000. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028. The awarded requirement covers Eclipse patient pathway optimisation services. The process was identified as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. No separate lots or detailed evaluation criteria are stated in the procurement information.

This award confirms established demand from Hertfordshire Community NHS Trust for Eclipse-related patient pathway optimisation and shows that the buyer uses a framework call-off route for this type of technology requirement. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable capability in healthcare software, patient pathway optimisation and the practical delivery or support of systems used in NHS environments. Suppliers should be able to understand clinical workflows, translate pathway problems into software or configuration improvements, and work effectively with a community NHS trust. The recorded procurement was not marked as suitable for SMEs or VCSEs, indicating that future competitors should be prepared to meet the capacity and organisational expectations associated with a framework-based NHS technology contract.
