UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lancashire County Council procured a PharmOutcomes Service Management Solution. The requirement is an information systems and IT services solution covering software, service management, consulting, software development, internet services and support. It is intended to support the council’s PharmOutcomes service management needs. The work is delivered in the UK. The buyer is Lancashire County Council, a sub-central public authority. The selected supplier is Egton Medical Information Systems Limited, trading as Optum, a large Leeds-based company. This is a single service requirement rather than a multi-lot procurement. The scope is therefore relevant to suppliers that provide healthcare-related service management software or information systems, together with the technical support and associated IT services needed to operate them.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Egton Medical Information Systems Limited, trading as Optum. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The original estimated value was £28,000 excluding VAT and £33,600 including VAT. The contract was signed on 28 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The contract value is £30,964.24 excluding VAT and £37,157.09 including VAT. The tender described a one-year term from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027, with renewal permitted to a maximum extent date of 31 March 2029. The completed single lot covered software and IT services for delivery in the UK.

This award indicates established demand from Lancashire County Council for a specialist PharmOutcomes service management solution rather than a general-purpose IT purchase. A credible future competitor would need to provide software and information systems for service management, with the technical capability to support internet-based services and ongoing operation. Relevant experience in software development, IT consulting and user or service support would strengthen a supplier’s position. The successful supplier’s profile also indicates that the requirement can be delivered by a large, established technology provider with the capacity to maintain the service across the contract period. Businesses tracking this buyer should therefore assess whether they can combine a suitable healthcare or pharmacy-facing platform with reliable support, implementation and service continuity.
