Summary of the contracting process

The Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust has concluded the procurement process for a "Secure Digital Patient Platform." This procurement was an open procedure aimed at sourcing an IT software package specifically designed to provide an accessible, secure patient-focused intranet and internet platform. This will assist in reducing digital deprivation for patients across the Trust’s facilities in Nottinghamshire and surrounding regions (UKF14). The tender process, initiated in June 2025 and culminating in an award in November 2025, involved a competitive bidding phase where six bids were received, all from small and medium-sized enterprises. The contract value is set at £522,674.64, with the option for an extension beyond its initial three-year term, potentially extending up to five years.

This contract presents significant opportunities for growth to businesses operating in the IT sector, particularly those focusing on healthcare technology solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises, like Made Purple Limited, the awarded supplier, are well-positioned to compete in such tenders given the emphasis on social value and commercial competitiveness. The procurement's open method allowed for wider participation and encouraged high competition. Enterprises with expertise in developing digital platforms that facilitate patient engagement and provide educational resources will find this contract particularly valuable, creating pathways for expanding their client base within the public health sector.
