Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust procured a managed inventory catalogue service for its NHS operations. The requirement covers access to GHX Nexus, GHX Procure and provider exchange services, supporting the management and exchange of inventory and procurement information. This is a technology service rather than a supply of physical inventory, classified under inventory management software development services (CPV 72212430). The buyer is based at Redditch Alexandra Hospital, Redditch, Worcestershire, and the procurement lists delivery in the United Kingdom and internationally. The opportunity is relevant to providers of healthcare procurement technology, inventory catalogue platforms, supplier data exchange and related implementation or support services. The requirement is centred on an established GHX service ecosystem and its use by an acute hospital trust.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender had an estimated value of £55,000 to £60,000. GHX UK Ltd was awarded the contract on 14 July 2026 for £25,022.20. The contract period runs from 1 October 2025 to 30 September 2028. The awarded supplier is GHX UK Ltd. The procurement was for services and was identified as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award is active, and the contract period associated with the award matches the stated contract period. The arrangement covers the GHX inventory catalogue, procurement and provider exchange services required by the Trust.

This award indicates demand from Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust for integrated healthcare inventory and procurement information services. Competitors seeking similar work would need a proven inventory catalogue platform, reliable supplier and provider data exchange, and the ability to support procurement workflows in an acute hospital environment. Familiarity with GHX Nexus and GHX Procure, or the capability to deliver comparable functionality and integrations, would be central to credibility. Suppliers would also need operational capacity to maintain catalogue data, support exchanges between the Trust and providers, and provide dependable service across the buyer’s healthcare setting. The procurement route shows that access to an appropriate framework is important for reaching this buyer, while the stated suitability position points towards established specialist providers rather than voluntary-sector organisations or smaller generalist suppliers.
