Summary of the contracting process

The East London NHS Foundation Trust (ELFT) has successfully completed a procurement process for the extension of an Electronic Patient Record (EPR) service. This contract, falling under the software-related services industry category, has been awarded to Access UK LTD. The extension, which includes service desk provision and application user licence limits, will cover a period of 2 years and 6 months, starting from 1st August 2024 and ending at 31st January 2027. The procurement was conducted using a negotiated procedure without prior publication, and the decision was finalised based on price as the sole award criterion. Key dates include the contract signing on 19th July 2024, with the official start date being 1st August 2024, and it will be carried out in the UK, specifically the region of UKI4.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in software-related services, particularly those with expertise in healthcare IT solutions. Companies that can offer robust service desk support, adherence to stringent Service Level Agreements, and manage application user licences effectively would find this contract beneficial. Given the limited procurement method, businesses with existing relationships or previous engagements with NHS trusts or similar healthcare institutions, such as Access UK LTD, are well-suited to compete and grow their business through such engagements. With a contract value of GBP 630,904, this procurement offers a substantial business opportunity while contributing to the efficient management of ELFT's healthcare services.
