Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Burns Database" was conducted by NHS England, a public body responsible for health services across the United Kingdom. The focus of this procurement was IT Support and Management of the Burns Database, classified under the health services category (CPV: 85100000). The procurement method used was limited, with an award procedure executed without prior publication due to the protection of exclusive rights. Although the tender stage is complete, the award was made on January 30, 2026. The contractual value stands at £579,460, and the work location is specified in the South East region (UKJ1) of the UK. This process was not open to competitive bidding, highlighting regulatory provisions under Reg 32(2)(b)(ii) and (iii) of PCR 2015 for repeating similar work with the existing supplier, MDSAS LTD.

This tender offers business growth opportunities for companies specialising in health IT services, particularly those focused on supporting and managing clinical databases. Given the specialised nature and set regulatory framework, firms possessing or seeking to develop a niche in intellectual property-driven healthcare technology are well-suited to such contracts. Although the procurement was restricted due to regulatory reasons, it illustrates the potential for businesses to align with NHS England's requirements, leveraging exclusive capabilities. SMEs, like MDSAS LTD, which can offer unique expertise in this domain, stand to benefit significantly if they possess the necessary credentials and can maintain strategic partnerships with public health agencies.
