Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by the Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust for the subscription renewal of a DRS e-Rostering System has been concluded as of 31 October 2025. The trust, located at Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Gateshead, handled the procurement under a direct method without competition, which falls below the threshold. This contract is aimed at simplifying doctors' scheduling processes, ensuring compliance and fairness, and has been assigned a budget of £8,500 annually for a 24-month period. The contract was awarded to LANTUM LTD, based in London, with an active status beginning on 1 September 2025 and ending on 31 March 2027. The procurement is classified under 'Software package and information systems' and operates within the 'goods' category.

The tender offers growth opportunities particularly for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) operating within the software solutions and healthcare management systems industries. This direct procurement by a central government authority demonstrates potential for steady, fixed-term income and a foothold within the public health sector. Businesses specialising in software development, particularly in producing e-rostering or similar solutions, would find this opportunity particularly promising. With the contract already awarded, future similar tenders could serve as precedents for businesses seeking to partner with NHS trusts or other public bodies in delivering tailored digital solutions.
