Summary of the contracting process

University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has completed a procurement process for a contract extension concerning their electronic patient records (EPR) system. The contract, related to patient-administration systems, was awarded to Epic Systems Corporation, a large supplier with operations in London. This procurement falls under the category of goods and utilised a limited procurement method. The procedure bypassed prior publication of a call for competition due to regulatory allowances. As of 19th July 2024, the contract has been active, with a value of £19,455,575.00 and will ensure continued support and maintenance for existing EPR licences at the hospital, located in the UKI31 region.

The contract presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in healthcare IT solutions, especially those with a focus on software package and information systems. While the method of procurement was restrictive, companies that specialise in long-term maintenance and support services for healthcare systems may benefit from exploring similar avenues where regulatory exclusions apply. It highlights the potential for firms with the capability to operate under specific regulatory frameworks to engage with public sector bodies, significantly bolstering their portfolio and reinforcing their industry presence. Being involved with contracts of this nature could enhance a business's foothold in the healthcare technology sector.
