Summary of the contracting process

The Midlands Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust is initiating a procurement process through a Prior Information Notice (PIN) for digital software solutions, specifically targeting the procurement of Robotic Process Automation or Redaction Software. This process is classified under the IT software package category and is geared towards sourcing goods. The PIN aims to inform the Trust's decision-making for the most appropriate route to market, welcoming insight and interest from providers on public sector frameworks. This informal engagement precedes formal procurement and is scheduled to culminate by 25th February 2026. The procurement method is selective, following a restricted procedure, and submissions are to be made electronically or in written form.

Through this process, businesses specialising in IT software packages and information systems have the opportunity to engage with a significant health sector institution. Ideal contenders would include organisations familiar with public sector frameworks and those capable of offering innovative software solutions to streamline processes within healthcare settings. The Midlands Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust is actively seeking providers who can demonstrate economic viability, technical expertise, and suitability. Businesses equipped with these capabilities will find this tender appealing, potentially leading to significant growth opportunities in collaboration with a major NHS Foundation Trust.
