Summary of the contracting process

East and North Hertfordshire Teaching NHS Trust procured an ophthalmology electronic patient record (EPR) system through an ICT purchase. The requirement is for software and associated information systems to support ophthalmology services at the Trust. Delivery is associated with Stevenage, Hertfordshire (SG1 4AB), and the buying organisation is based in Welwyn Garden City. The procurement description identifies the Trust as the intended user and the system as an ophthalmology-specific EPR; it does not describe a broader hospital-wide record system.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Tet Limited. The award was made on 30 May 2022, for £507,000. The contract period runs from 1 June 2022 to 31 May 2027. The Trust used a selective call-off from the SBS Digital Workplace Solutions framework rather than conducting an open competition. The original tender deadline was 9 May 2022 at noon. The estimated procurement range was £505,000 to £507,000. The purchase was treated as goods, and the procurement was not designated as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. No separate lots or evaluation criteria are recorded.

This award demonstrates a substantial, multi-year requirement from East and North Hertfordshire Teaching NHS Trust for ophthalmology-focused electronic patient record software. Suppliers seeking to compete for a similar future requirement would need to provide a clinical record system tailored to ophthalmology and capable of serving the Trust’s service needs. The original purchase was made through the SBS Digital Workplace Solutions framework, so relevant framework access and experience delivering public-sector ICT call-offs would be important. The selected supplier was an SME, although the procurement was not designated as suitable for SMEs; this points to the importance of demonstrating the technical capability and delivery capacity to implement and support a specialist system at Trust scale. The requirement is specific to ophthalmology, rather than general-purpose software supply.
