UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Barts Health NHS Trust sought a fertility electronic patient record (EPR) system for its healthcare services. The requirement is a software supply service, focused on providing a system to support fertility-related patient records and associated clinical information. The buyer is Barts Health NHS Trust, based in London. The work is relevant to software vendors and specialist healthcare technology providers that supply fertility EPR solutions to NHS or other healthcare organisations. It is a single-service requirement rather than a separately described package of goods, works or multiple service categories. Suppliers should assess whether their product supports fertility care records and can be supplied to a large NHS trust operating in London.

The procurement reached tender: Barts Health NHS Trust invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission allowed in English. The tender deadline was 15 June 2026 at 12:00, and the intended award decision date was 31 July 2026. The contract was planned to run from 14 August 2026 to 14 August 2028, with renewal of up to 36 months. Its estimated value was £350,000 excluding VAT, or £420,000 including VAT. Evaluation weighted quality at 60%, price at 30% and social value at 10%. The single lot was marked complete, but the procurement was cancelled before award on 20 July 2026 because the market response did not provide sufficient competition for a robust, value-for-money decision.

This opportunity suits software suppliers specialising in electronic patient record systems for fertility services, particularly smaller and medium-sized enterprises, as the requirement was identified as suitable for SMEs. Businesses with a product designed for fertility-related patient records are the closest fit. Providers should be able to supply a system to an NHS trust and demonstrate that their solution addresses the required fertility EPR use case. The evaluation placed greater weight on quality than price, with social value also considered, so suppliers able to explain the quality of their system and their social value contribution would be well placed to compete. The procurement was cancelled, but a future competition may interest comparable healthcare technology providers.
