Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust is in the planning stage of its procurement process, seeking expressions of interest for a single Finance and Procurement System to be delivered in the Devon region. This initiative involves a significant investment, with a contract value estimated at £40 million. The procurement is governed by UK legislation and will be conducted via the Crown Commercial Service Framework RM6181. Key deadlines include an engagement milestone due by 13th June 2025, and a future notice planned for 1st July 2025. The procurement falls under the 'goods' category, specifically targeting software package and information systems that include financial and procurement software solutions.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities for companies specialising in software solutions, particularly those offering comprehensive business transaction, accounting, and procurement systems. Given the substantial contract value and long-term delivery commitment, businesses with robust capabilities in handling large-scale projects will be well-suited to compete. Additionally, the engagement offers an opening for firms to align with the strategic objectives of a central government public authority, expanding their footprint in the healthcare sector. The project is potentially ideal for both established software enterprises and innovators in the financial technology space looking to leverage industry-leading frameworks such as the Crown Commercial Service.
