Summary of the contracting process

The Belfast Health and Social Care Trust has completed the award stage for the procurement of the Lillie Sexual Health Management System Annual Support and Maintenance. Classified under the IT services category (CPV code 72000000), the contract focuses on consulting, software development, Internet, and support services. The procurement process adhered to a limited method without the prior publication of a call for competition, justified by the protection of exclusive rights. The contract, valued at GBP 53,562.38, was signed on 31st July 2024, and involves the delivery of services to Belfast, Northern Ireland (UKN).

This tender represents a unique opportunity for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those with competencies in healthcare management software. Although the contract has been awarded to Idox Software Limited due to their exclusive rights to the Lillie system, businesses capable of offering similar products or complementary services should remain vigilant for future opportunities. Companies that can navigate the complexities of high-level ICT infrastructure and healthcare solutions, and are familiar with public sector requirements, would be particularly well suited to participate in similar contracts in the future as the Encompass procurement programme unfolds across Northern Ireland.

Procurement of Lillie Sexual Health Management System Annual Support and Maintenance

Procurement Information

No other reasonable alternative or substitute exists for this procurement and the absence of competition for technical reasons is not a result of the artificial narrowing of the parameters of the procurement. Idox Software Limited have exclusive rights over the software, licences and updates for this system. The functionality of this software is within the core scope of the Encompass procurement. The Health and Social Care Northern Ireland (HSCNI) is currently implementing Encompass, an Electronic Health and Care Record (EHCR) that will underpin the service transformation and healthcare needs of the the population of Northern Ireland. Encompass will replace multiple aging HSC Trust systems and numerous paper records and manual workflows and the EHCR will deliver significant core functionality across the acute,community and primary care Out of Hours sectors. The contract for the provision of EHCR solution was awarded to epic in May 2020. The contract is required to cover the transitional period and a replacement in the short-term is not a reasonable alternative as it would require extensive ICT infrastructure, validation and integration work that would result in significant disruption and lead to disproportionate technical difficulties that would impact on the Trusts ability to provide a sexual and reproductive health service. The wider market was consulted when Encompass was procured. The absence of competition is not a result of the artificial narrowing of the parameters of procurement.
