Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has concluded a procurement process titled "FFT and Patient Experience 3 month extension", focusing on system and support services within the healthcare sector. The procurement, situated in Liverpool, UK, was conducted through a direct procurement method, categorised as below threshold and executed without competition. This process has reached the award stage, with the contract awarded to Cisco, covering the period from 31st March 2026 to 30th March 2027. The contract was formally signed on 30th March 2026, with the total value amounting to £19,273.76 GBP.

This tender presents a unique opportunity for businesses involved in providing system and support services, particularly those with experience in healthcare-related technology solutions. Despite the competitive landscape, smaller firms might find opportunities collaborating as subcontractors with larger entities such as Cisco, helping them gain valuable exposure and experience. Companies adept in enhancing patient experience and delivering support services under constrained timelines would be ideally suited for such extensions in public service contracts. This scenario underscores the importance for emerging businesses to engage proactively with large-scale contractors and public authorities such as the Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
