Summary of the contracting process

The Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, in collaboration with the United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, has completed a direct award procurement process to acquire patient-focused multimedia units to enhance patient care environments. This process began with a tender invitation to procure up to 32 multimedia units for installation within patient bedrooms, de-escalation, and seclusion spaces in Lincoln, UK. The procurement was completed on 3rd July 2025, following the legal basis outlined in the UKPGA. The awarded contract, valued at £326,154.30 with the main procurement category being goods, extends until 31st March 2027. The selected supplier is Recornect BV, an SME based in Eindhoven, Netherlands, whose products reportedly align with the Trust's existing technology set-up and training protocols, ensuring continuity and compatibility.

This contract creates opportunities for growth in businesses that specialise in robust, interactive, and secure digital solutions for healthcare environments. Companies focusing on hardware and software integration, particularly those offering touchscreen interfaces and privacy-compliant information management, stand to benefit from similar future projects. Additionally, firms with expertise in customising technological solutions for therapeutic environments may find similar procurement processes advantageous. This procurement highlights a preference for reliable, technically proven suppliers capable of providing bespoke solutions to enhance patient and staff interaction within healthcare settings.
