Summary of the contracting process

The contracting process initiated by Cambridgeshire County Council focuses on a planning stage for the prospective procurement titled "Market Engagement - Health Kiosks in Libraries," within the health and social work services category. The procurement targets the UKH12 region in Huntingdon, United Kingdom, with Cambridgeshire County Council acting as the buyer. As part of the project, two Class II medical device-compliant self-service health kiosks are currently commissioned in local community libraries to aid cardiovascular disease prevention. These health kiosks, offering essential health check-ups, are scheduled to end service by 30 September 2026. A preliminary market engagement notice has been published, inviting potential providers to complete a questionnaire, due by 8 May 2026, to aid in guiding procurement documentation. Subsequent procurement communication is projected on 1 August 2026.

This procurement process offers a substantial opportunity for businesses within the health services sector, particularly those interested in supplying medical device-compliant solutions. Businesses focusing on health technology, innovative self-service solutions, or community health programmes may find this opportunity particularly appealing. The procurement is suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, ensuring accessibility for various business sizes and types to compete. The market engagement process emphasises understanding market capabilities without immediate competitive bidding, affording interested providers the space to illustrate innovations and strategies that could enhance community health services through library-based health kiosks.
