Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Midlands and Lancashire Commissioning Support Unit, hosted by NHS England, has completed the procurement process titled "P004289-SME input to enable the following outcomes within SMP LIMS Programme tha". This tender, under the industry category of Project Management Consultancy Services (CPV Code: 72224000), was conducted to find SME input for a technical project management service to implement a network-wide LIMS solution. The contract, valued at £84,550, was awarded to Twin Technology Limited, a small to medium-sized enterprise, with the contract period running from 1st July 2025 to 1st December 2025. The procurement was a selective process, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, with the final award date being 5th June 2025.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for SMEs with expertise in digital project management and technical services, particularly those capable of implementing large-scale, real-time network solutions in the healthcare sector. Firms with a strong understanding of diagnostic service delivery and patient-centric systems would be particularly well-suited to similar opportunities. Given the selective procurement method, businesses that are part of relevant framework agreements stand a better chance of success in future tenders of this nature managed by NHS England or related commissioning bodies.
