Summary of the contracting process

The North Bristol NHS Trust has completed a direct award contracting process concerning a licence extension for the Synbiotix software, spanning from November 2025 to October 2028. This specific procurement, categorised under software package and information systems as well as software support services, was brokered due to the unique intellectual property rights and technical reasons associated with the product, necessitating a direct award. The North Bristol NHS Trust, located at Southmead Hospital in Bristol, managed the procurement under the legal framework provided by the 2023/54 legislation. Important dates include the scheduled future signature date on 4th November 2025.

This contract primarily creates opportunities for Synbiotix Solutions Limited, a small to medium enterprise capable of delivering niche software solutions. The procurement is inherently focused on the continuation of specialised software services previously provided, which could potentially limit the scope for other businesses. However, it reflects the importance of maintaining expertise and exclusivity in high-tech software services, presenting a growth opportunity for businesses that offer unique, proprietary solutions in the healthcare sector.
