Summary of the contracting process

NHS Blood and Transplant procured a risk management system as a software and information systems service. The requirement is for the provision of a system to support the organisation’s risk management activities. The buying organisation is NHS Blood and Transplant, based at Filton, Bristol, and delivery is associated with its site at North Bristol Park, Filton, Bristol, BS34 7QH, in the United Kingdom. The procurement is categorised as a service rather than goods or works. The requirement is relevant to software providers, information systems specialists and risk technology businesses able to supply a complete risk management system to an NHS organisation and support its use within a public-sector operating environment.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. NHS Blood and Transplant used a selective procedure, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 3 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Ideagen Gael on 10 August 2026 for £168,552.60. The contract period runs from 10 August 2026 to 9 August 2030. The award is active and covers the risk management system service. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The recorded procurement category is services, with software and information systems as the subject classification.

This award is useful market evidence for suppliers of risk management software and information systems targeting NHS and other public-sector buyers. A credible competitor would need a mature product that can support organisational risk management in a regulated healthcare setting, together with the implementation, configuration, user support and ongoing service capability needed over a multi-year arrangement. The selected supplier’s profile shows that specialist software expertise is relevant, while the call-off route indicates that access to an appropriate framework can be commercially important. Smaller businesses are expressly recognised as suitable for this type of requirement, so an SME with a dependable platform, public-sector delivery experience and the capacity to maintain the service could be well placed when comparable demand returns.
