Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust procured an electronic patient record system for occupational health services. The requirement is a software and information-systems service, intended for delivery in Leicester, at Leicester Royal Infirmary. The buyer is the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust, an NHS organisation. The procurement concerns an occupational health electronic patient record rather than general clinical records or unrelated IT services. Suppliers with relevant occupational health systems, electronic patient record platforms or specialist healthcare information-management software would be closest to the requirement. The service is categorised as software and information systems, with the main procurement category being services.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The contract was awarded to Orchid Software on 4 August 2026 through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The awarded value is £145,710. The contract runs from 5 August 2026 to 30 July 2029. The procurement had a submission deadline of 4 August 2026 at 12:00. The award is active and covers the occupational health electronic patient record requirement. The opportunity was identified as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that the buyer expected participation from suppliers with access to the relevant framework and the capacity to deliver the full requirement.

This award provides a clear reference point for suppliers tracking NHS demand for occupational health electronic patient record systems. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a proven product focused on occupational health records, together with the ability to provide a complete software and information-systems service to an NHS trust. Framework access is commercially important because this purchase was made as a framework call-off rather than through an open standalone tender. The buyer’s assessment that the requirement was unsuitable for SMEs and VCSEs indicates a preference for suppliers with established market capability, sufficient organisational capacity and the ability to support a substantial healthcare technology deployment. Specialist occupational health expertise and relevant public-sector delivery experience would strengthen credibility.
