Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process concerns Homerton University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, which is engaging in a contract extension for an Electronic Patient Records System with Access UK Ltd. The procurement falls under the industry category of IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support. The location for delivery is within the UKI41 region. This is at the 'Award' stage following a limited procurement method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. An existing framework will be extended to accommodate additional licences for the Rio system, whose services have been central to cross-ICS solutions over the past decade. The contract, signed on 13th June 2024, is valued at £544,030.57.
