Summary of the contracting process

Kettering General Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (KGH) procured digital patient mail and hybrid mail services, including a Patient Engagement Portal. The requirement combines software and managed communications support to help the hospital produce and deliver patient correspondence through digital and physical channels. It is categorised as an IT software package and falls within services procurement. Delivery is for KGH at Rothwell Road, Kettering, Northamptonshire, NN16 8UZ, serving the hospital’s patient communication needs. The buying organisation is Kettering General Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. The requirement is therefore relevant to suppliers providing hybrid mail, digital correspondence, patient engagement portals, healthcare communications technology or associated software-enabled mailing services.

The procurement has been awarded following a selective call-off from the G-Cloud 14 framework agreement (RM1557.14). The award was made to IMIMOBILE EUROPE LIMITED on 6 August 2026 for £268,006.08 including the stated contract value. The contract period runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 October 2026. The tender submission deadline was 31 March 2026 at 12:00. The procurement was evaluated through the framework call-off route; the published information identifies the requirement as services and records no separate lots. The award is active and the tender is complete. The selected supplier is identified as a small or medium-sized enterprise.

For suppliers that did not win this award, the requirement demonstrates demand from an NHS hospital for an integrated patient communications service rather than standalone mailing or generic software alone. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to combine reliable hybrid-mail fulfilment with a secure digital patient engagement portal, supporting correspondence across physical and electronic channels. Relevant capability includes software implementation, systems integration, service management, data handling and dependable high-volume patient communications. Suppliers with proven healthcare or other regulated-sector delivery experience, robust information governance and the operational capacity to support both technology and mailing workflows would be well placed to compete through an appropriate public-sector framework call-off.
