UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

TRANSPORT UK EAST MIDLANDS LIMITED, a private utility in London, has concluded the award stage for the procurement of EMR Website Maintenance, Support, and Hosting services. This contract involves maintaining both the EMR and Luton Airport Express websites. Using a direct award approach, the procurement was necessitated by the intellectual property rights held by the supplier, Altcom Limited, which is based in St Ives, Cornwall. This method ensures operational continuity and protects against potential revenue risks. The contract spans from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027, with the possibility of a 12-month extension contingent upon performance, highlighting the strategic flexibility required to transition to the GBR Online Retail Solution.

This procurement presents significant business opportunities for IT service providers specialising in consulting, software development, and support. With a contract value of £351,255.80, this initiative aligns with services in the IT industry category, offering substantial growth prospects for technology companies adept in website hosting and maintenance. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs), such as Altcom Limited, which focus on specialised IT solutions and hold exclusive rights, are well-suited to participate in similar projects where expertise in maintaining critical digital infrastructure is needed.

Notice Title

EMR Website Maintenance, Support and Hosting

Notice Description

The provision of Maintenance, Support, and Hosting Services for both the EMR and the Luton Airport Express website

Procurement Information

The supplier holds the IPR in both websites and failure to award may expose EMR to operational disruption and revenue risk, with the potential for out of contract charges to be applied.
