Summary of the contracting process

The University of Birmingham has recently completed a procurement process for the "FaR-RMS Trial - Clinical trial database," classified under database services within the healthcare sector. The contract was awarded on 4th October 2021, with a value of £500,000, and the work is expected to be carried out primarily at the University located in Birmingham, UK, as well as some activities at the supplier's premises in Uppsala, Sweden. This was a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition, driven by the urgent requirement for a compliant clinical trial database for the FaR-RMS trial, which is due for completion by the end of 2021.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the information technology and healthcare sectors, particularly those specialising in clinical trial databases. Companies with a strong track record in regulatory compliance and previous collaborations with academic organisations, especially in the context of paediatric oncology trials, would be well-suited to pursue future contracts in this area. The selected supplier, Viedoc Technologies AB, has demonstrated the capability to deliver a compliant solution within the specified timeline and budget, indicating a demand for similar expertise in upcoming projects.
