UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust has completed a procurement process through a direct award for providing a total Cancer Management Solution, specifically the Somerset Cancer Register, including its system maintenance. The buyer, located in Northampton, UK, conducted this procurement under the legal framework of UKPGA 2023/54. The tender falls under the services category and it was deemed that competition was absent due to technical reasons, warranting a direct procurement method. This contract, valued at £274,938, spans from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2029, with potential extensions up to 31st March 2030. The award was made to Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, a large-scale supplier based in Taunton, Somerset. Key documentation includes a transparency notice published on 13th February 2026.

Companies experienced in managing cancer registries or similar complex health data systems may find this contract beneficial for reinforcing their relationship with the public sector and enhancing their portfolio. The awarding decision recognises the unique technical capabilities required in this field, positioning such businesses strategically for future healthcare technology tenders. Potential exists for further growth through contractual extensions, promising continued collaboration and service provision for successful firms.
