Summary of the contracting process

The upcoming procurement titled "Hybrid Mail & Patient Portal" is being organised by the United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. This project is still in the planning stage and focuses on the services category within the software supply industry, specifically targeting CPV 72268000. Located in the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom (UKF30), this planned tender will likely utilise a framework route, such as PA2023 or PCR2015 NHS, as its preferred method to market. The total estimated contract value is £8,400,000 with an actual estimated value of £7,000,000. Key dates include a projected contract start on 28th October 2028, with potential for renewal, extending until 27th October 2035. Interested parties should note that this is a pipeline notice, so it is not an active call for competition at this moment.

This procurement opportunity presents significant business growth potential for companies specialising in software supply services aimed at healthcare institutions. Given the focus on developing a Patient Engagement Portal and associated Hybrid Mail services, businesses that are adept at handling large-scale service projects and have previous experience in the healthcare sector will be well-suited to compete. Additionally, the procurement process under a selective framework is competitive, but supports SME involvement, ensuring a wide array of potential suppliers can participate. This encourages innovative solutions and partnerships that could enhance service delivery and technological advancements within the NHS framework.
