UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Papworth Hospital NHS Foundation Trust in Cambridge has completed a direct procurement process to secure a licence for the "Referapatient - Acute Heart Failure, RSSC and Transplant" service. This initiative, concluded on 31st May 2025 with a contract running until 31st May 2030, provides an IT software package that facilitates around-the-clock online clinical referrals from across the UK, packed with features for handling multiple referrals and providing real-time updates. The tender process, performed under UKPGA 2023/54, was below the competition threshold and did not involve competitive bidding. The project is in the award stage, with Bloomsbury Health Org as the designated supplier, and falls under the category of goods in the health industry, signifying key growth in NHS referral services.

This business opportunity could be an attractive prospect for IT firms experienced in healthcare solutions, particularly those that provide software packages geared towards health institutions. Large-scale suppliers, like Bloomsbury Health Org, might find the procurement process advantageous due to its direct and non-competitive nature, allowing swift engagement and deployment. Companies focusing on digital transformation in healthcare services stand to benefit significantly by aiding the NHS in enhancing speed and efficiency in clinical patient referrals, thus potentially gaining a substantial foothold in the health technology sector.
