Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust procured annual support and maintenance for its Ultraprep medical software in Peterborough. The service covers full implementation support, integration with demographic systems, integration for document uploads, and ongoing technical support for patients and staff. It also includes expertise and advice on Digital Preoperative Assessment (POA). This is a healthcare software support service rather than a new software supply or construction requirement. The delivery address is Bretton Gate, Peterborough, PE3 9GZ, within the United Kingdom. The procurement’s main category is services, with the software classified as a medical software package. Suppliers active in NHS digital systems, clinical software support, integration and preoperative assessment technology would find the requirement most relevant.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Softcat plc on 20 August 2026. It used a selective procedure as a direct award call-off from the Digital Workplace Solutions 2 framework. The tender deadline was 29 May 2026 at 12:00. The awarded contract value is £222,720, with a contract period from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2029. The selected supplier is Softcat plc. The award covers the full Ultraprep support and maintenance requirement described for the Trust, including implementation, system integrations, technical support, and POA expertise. The opportunity was identified as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

For a supplier assessing future demand, this award demonstrates a three-year NHS requirement for specialist support around an established medical software platform. A credible competitor would need to provide reliable annual maintenance, implementation assistance and responsive technical support for both patients and staff. Relevant capability includes integrating demographic information and uploaded documents into clinical workflows, as well as understanding Digital Preoperative Assessment processes and advising users on their application. Experience supporting healthcare organisations and software used in patient-facing and staff-facing settings would strengthen a future proposition. Suppliers should also be able to operate through the relevant public sector technology framework route and demonstrate the organisational capacity to deliver sustained support across the contract lifecycle.
