Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust has completed the procurement process for a new tender titled "PAHT - Logex Patient Level Information and Costing System (PLICS)." This procurement falls under the category of software package and information systems and is associated with the healthcare industry. The process was conducted through a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from the HTE Digital Technology Solutions Framework agreement. The contract has been awarded to Softcat plc, a large-scale supplier. Key timelines include the tender period ending on 10th March 2025 and the contract starting from 1st April 2025, continuing until 31st March 2028. The procurement process is currently in the award stage, with the award notice published on 25th February 2026. The contract is valued at £275,000 and focuses on delivery within the United Kingdom.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare software solutions, particularly those capable of delivering sophisticated information systems. While large enterprises may be best suited to compete due to the call-off framework method, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) should evaluate partnership roles or sub-contracting opportunities with larger firms already part of the framework. Providers capable of adapting to NHS Trust technology requirements and eager to contribute to efficient healthcare management systems would find this procurement favourable for expanding their presence in the healthcare digital solutions market.
