Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Supply Chain is planning to initiate a procurement process for Audiology Patient Management Systems, which will facilitate the provision of medical information systems primarily for NHS departments such as Audiology and Ear Nose & Throat (ENT). This Framework Agreement is projected to incur a total expenditure of approximately £4,000,000 over a four-year term, with an initial expected spend of between £500,000 and £1,000,000 in the first year. Interested suppliers can anticipate the invitation to tender within the next 12 months, with a future notice planned for 1st September 2021. The framework will encompass both Direct and Non-Direct Contract Products, requiring strategic engagement with suppliers before the official tender release.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in patient management software, data conversion services, and related add-on modules. Companies that hold relevant certifications, such as ISO 9001:2015, multiple insurances, and compliance with medical device regulations, will be well-suited to compete. The framework's structure allows for various NHS Trusts and other authorised entities to enter into contracts, which can result in sustained business growth for successful suppliers within the UK's healthcare sector.
