Summary of the contracting process

Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust bought patient-focused multimedia units for use in patient bedrooms, de-escalation areas and seclusion spaces. The package combines robust, anti-ligature interactive touch-screen devices with entertainment, therapeutic engagement and communication functions. Patients can personalise the screens and access television, radio, music, relaxation content, drawing and photos. Integrated video calling and nurse-call software support communication, while staff controls manage confidential information, including care plans and Mental Health Act information. The equipment also requires installation and software to manage personal data securely. United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust managed the procurement. Delivery and installation were for Trust facilities in Lincolnshire, England.

The procurement was awarded to Recornect BV through a direct award, justified by existing use of its products, continuity for staff and patients, training, and the stated view that only one suitable product and supplier was known. The award was made on 11 June 2025. The contract was signed on 25 June 2025, with a stated period from 26 June 2025 to 31 March 2027; it was later terminated as completed, with implementation recorded as ending on 31 August 2026. The contract value was £271,795.25 excluding VAT (£326,154.30 including VAT). The initial purchase was 21 units, with up to 11 more conditional on funding; an ongoing service plan was also an option. The procurement had one lot, marked suitable for SMEs.

This completed purchase indicates demand for specialist patient-facing technology in mental health settings, combining secure multimedia hardware, installation and software. Suppliers seeking to compete for a similar requirement would need devices designed to withstand intensive use and to minimise ligature risks, alongside interactive screens that patients can personalise. The solution must support entertainment and therapeutic engagement, integrated video communication and nurse-call functionality, with staff-controlled tools for handling highly sensitive patient information in line with data-protection obligations. Relevant experience would include implementing equipment in bedrooms and higher-risk clinical spaces, integrating with care and communications workflows, and supporting staff and patients through continuity and training. Capability to provide software updates and maintenance after the warranty period would also address risks identified for this purchase. SME suitability was recorded for the single lot.
