Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by the Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, involved the competitive solicitation for a "CCDE System for Healthier Futures." The procurement fell under the "goods" category, specifically focusing on software packages and information systems and was primarily conducted through an open, competitive flexible procedure. The contract, valued at £396,000 gross, was awarded on the 19th of June 2026 to SYMETRI LIMITED, and includes delivery addresses across multiple regions in the United Kingdom. This procurement was completed under legal provisions established by the UK Public Authority Central Government, known by their scheme as UKPGA 2023/54. Key dates included the signing of the contract on the 17th of June 2026, marking its active status until May 10, 2032.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities, particularly for businesses in the IT and software sectors, as it seeks robust solutions for healthcare systems. Companies like SYMETRI LIMITED, which can offer comprehensive software packages and IT consultancy services, are well-suited to compete in similar tenders. The procurement encourages participation from a diverse set of businesses, though in this instance, only large scale entities like Symetri were successful. Such procurement exercises allow businesses to form valuable partnerships with public health institutions, leading to potential further opportunities within the public sector, especially for those experienced in delivering IT services tailored for healthcare infrastructure improvements.
