Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust procured software licence maintenance and support for its PLICS system. PLICS is a software and information-systems requirement, covering the continued licensing and associated support services rather than physical goods or construction. The work is for the Trust and is delivered in Leicester, at Leicester Royal Infirmary. The procurement is categorised as services and relates to CPV 48000000, software package and information systems. The awarded supplier is IQVIA Ltd, a large organisation based in Reading. This opportunity is therefore relevant to software publishers, licensing specialists and support providers able to maintain and support PLICS licences for an NHS trust, particularly those with experience of supplying established healthcare information systems.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 27 March 2024 at 12:00 UTC, and the contract was awarded to IQVIA Ltd on 27 March 2024. The awarded value is £59,148. The estimated procurement range was £44,361 to £59,148. The contract period runs from 28 March 2024 to 27 March 2027. The selected supplier is responsible for the PLICS licence maintenance and support requirement for University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust. The procurement was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award indicates established NHS demand for ongoing maintenance and support of PLICS software licences within University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust. Suppliers competing for a future requirement would need a credible capability to manage software licensing, provide dependable technical support and maintain continuity for an operational healthcare information system. Relevant experience with PLICS or closely comparable patient-level costing and information systems would strengthen a supplier’s position, alongside the capacity to support a large NHS organisation throughout a multi-year service period. Framework access or an equivalent route to participate in a selective call-off would also be commercially important. The requirement is best suited to established software vendors and specialist healthcare technology support providers rather than general IT suppliers.
