Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, led by Medway NHS Foundation Trust, focused on acquiring "Testing Services" under the industry category of software testing. The procurement was situated in Gillingham, United Kingdom, with a completion status reported on 4th November 2025. The process used the 'direct' procurement method, indicating it was below the threshold and executed without competition. The contract, titled “Software testing,” reflects the aim of the procurement, highlighted by the legal underpinning of UK legislation 2023/54.

Although the procurement method was direct, suggesting limited competitive engagement, it demonstrates a clear demand within the healthcare sector for specialised testing services.
