Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process, managed by the York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, involved the award of a contract for the 'LapAR Pro software licence'. This pertains to the software and information systems industry, specifically for software package provisions. Located in York, UK, under the regional code UKE21, the process was brought to award status as of 23rd April 2025. The completion of the contract will take place over a three-year term, from 1st May 2025 to 30th April 2028. The procurement method used was a direct award due to reasons of sole supplier availability and continuity for technical purposes, indicating a non-competitive, below-threshold process.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for growth to businesses capable of providing bespoke software solutions, particularly those which are small to medium enterprises (SMEs) like Inovus Limited, the successful supplier. Companies that can ensure technical continuity and handle specialised, potentially complex software requirements without necessitating competitive proceedings would find such tenders within the public healthcare sector advantageous. The nature of direct awards for specific technical capabilities can provide strategic opportunities for firms looking to expand their footprint within the public sector, especially in regions like Yorkshire.
