Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has initiated a procurement process titled "Comms Support - Top up," within the services industry category, focusing on IT services such as consulting and software development. The hospital, located in Cambridge, UK, completed the award stage on 8th June 2026. This procurement method followed a below-threshold approach. The subsequent contract, valued at £13,360 (gross amount £16,032), was duly signed and is set to be active from 8th June 2026 to 7th June 2027.

This tender presents growth opportunities primarily for businesses specialising in IT consulting and support services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Lexington Communications Limited, the successful supplier based in London, are particularly well-suited to these requirements. Such opportunities allow these businesses to build relationships with major public sector entities like the NHS, potentially leading to further engagements and expansions within the public healthcare sector.
