Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "TIE Migration Service" has been completed by the University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust, located in Bristol, United Kingdom. This process falls under the industry category of computer support and consultancy services. The procurement was conducted through a direct award method, finalising on 23rd December 2025. The Trust is focusing on migrating from its legacy Integrated Feeding System (IFS) to a new integration engine to mitigate operational and clinical-safety risks associated with their current infrastructure. This contract, valued at £99,450 GBP, was awarded to Restart Consulting Limited, a supplier recognised for their prior involvement and expertise in similar integration services within the NHS Trust.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses that specialise in IT and integration services, especially those with experience in healthcare-related technology solutions. Companies that have existing knowledge of NHS systems or have previously engaged in similar infrastructure projects would be well-suited to engage in future tenders of this nature. The contract ensures ongoing collaboration and potential for further engagements, enhancing business relationships with the NHS and supporting their needs across various UK regions. The procurement approach underscores the importance of established expertise and familiarity with the technical and operational demands of the healthcare sector as key competitive advantages.

Notice Title

TIE Migration Service

Notice Description

The Trust is replacing its legacy IFS, which will be unsupported by soon. The platform underpins more than 300 integration feeds (across Live and Test servers) across clinical systems and presents rising operational, resilience, and clinical-safety risks. They have already procured a new Trust's future integration engine, and the migration programme is now moving into delivery.

Procurement Information

The supplier has been supporting the Trust for several years and is currently maintaining the similar engine in another hospital within the same Trust, including a live set of interfaces, one of these will also need to transition into the new engine platform. They also completed a PS10k discovery and design exercise earlier this year for the Trust, assessing our legacy IFS, defining migration patterns, and producing the recommended design approach. They therefore already understand our feeds, patterns, dependencies, and the local technical landscape.
