Summary of the contracting process

NHS Greater Manchester Integrated Care Board is initiating a procurement process for a digital front door and "While You Wait" resource service to aid all-age ADHD referrals within the Greater Manchester Integrated Care System. This falls under the planning stage, with a focus on medical software and health services, aimed at providing a consistent and efficient referral management system. This procurement is expected to cover regions within the United Kingdom, specifically targeting Greater Manchester. Suppliers are invited to review and submit responses to the Market Engagement Questionnaire (MEQ) by no later than noon on 27 February 2026, indicating early engagement opportunities via the SAP Ariba portal to help shape the specifications. The contract period is scheduled to commence on 1 July 2026, with potential renewals extending its duration beyond the initial term.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, especially for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) due to its suitability criteria. Businesses with expertise in developing medical software packages, patient-administration systems, clinical information systems, and health services would have a competitive edge. With a gross value of £720,000, this procurement offers substantial financial prospects while driving innovation and efficiency in managing ADHD referrals. Organisations already engaged in digital health solutions or aiming to expand into the medical sector should consider competing to contribute innovative solutions to this endeavour in Greater Manchester.
