Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust procured a Healthcare Clinical Information System (HCIS), comprising healthcare information-system software and associated services. The requirement falls within software packages and information systems and is categorised as a service. Delivery was for the Trust’s healthcare operations in Leicester, at Leicester Royal Infirmary and within the United Kingdom. The system is intended to support clinical information management in a hospital setting. This is a specialist digital health opportunity for suppliers providing clinical information systems, healthcare software implementation and related operational services. Organisations focused on general-purpose software, unrelated information technology or non-healthcare services would be less closely aligned with the requirement.

The procurement has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender closed on 14 August 2022, and the award was made on 14 August 2022 to DH OPCO UK LTD. The awarded value was £1,453,009. The contract period runs from 15 August 2022 to 14 August 2027. University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust is the buyer. The procurement was for one healthcare clinical information system requirement rather than separately described lots. The published outcome records DH OPCO UK LTD as the active awarded supplier. The process was not suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For suppliers that did not win, this procurement demonstrates substantial NHS demand for a specialist healthcare clinical information system serving a large hospital organisation. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a mature clinical information platform, healthcare-sector expertise and the ability to support implementation and ongoing service delivery in an operational hospital environment. Relevant capability includes integrating clinical workflows, managing sensitive healthcare information, maintaining system reliability and providing sustained technical and user support. The selected supplier was a large organisation, indicating that scale, delivery capacity and the resources to support a complex NHS deployment are important competitive considerations. Experience delivering comparable clinical systems would strengthen a future proposition.
