Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust procured patient administration system support services for its operations in England. The requirement covers support for a medical information system, including the ongoing technical and service capability needed to maintain a patient administration system. This is a healthcare information technology service rather than a supply of equipment or construction work. The Trust is based in Peterborough and is the organisation buying and using the service. The procurement relates to continuation of an existing patient administration system arrangement, so relevant suppliers are those able to support established NHS clinical and administrative systems rather than deliver a new standalone software platform.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through an extension of the existing contract following a voluntary ex ante transparency notice. The award was made on 30 June 2026 to System C Healthcare Limited for £6,488,459. The contract runs from 22 July 2026 to 21 July 2029. The Trust has optional rights to extend it by one or more 12-month periods, with the maximum possible term ending no later than 21 July 2031. The tender submission deadline was 30 June 2026 at 12 noon. This was a services procurement for a single requirement, using an ‘Other’ procurement method, and the published outcome records the award as active.

For a supplier that did not win, this award is a clear indicator of sustained NHS demand for specialist patient administration system support at substantial organisational scale. Credible competitors for a future requirement would need strong capability in medical information systems, reliable support for an established patient administration platform, and an understanding of NHS operational, clinical and administrative environments. They would also need the capacity to provide continuity of service over a multi-year arrangement, manage a system that supports essential healthcare processes, and demonstrate the technical maturity expected of a large-scale incumbent service provider. The buyer’s use of an existing-contract extension also shows the importance of platform knowledge and dependable ongoing performance.
