Summary of the contracting process

Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust bought a traceability system for its decontamination services department. The system is intended to track reusable instruments throughout the decontamination cycle. This is a software and information-systems requirement, rather than a contract to provide decontamination services themselves. The award includes an option to merge inventory with Broadgreen for contingency and disaster recovery, described as a four-day option. The procurement was organised as a single lot. The buyer is the NHS foundation trust, and the requirement concerns its decontamination operations. No specific delivery location is stated in the available procurement details.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is signed. Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust selected Health Edge Solutions through an award under a framework, using a selective procedure. The award date was 8 July 2026 and the contract was signed on 2 September 2026. The contract value is £131,750 excluding VAT (£158,100 including VAT). The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 March 2030, with an optional two-year renewal and a maximum extent date of 31 March 2032. There was one lot. The published details do not set out evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements.

This award shows demand from Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust for software that provides traceability of reusable instruments across the decontamination cycle. A credible competitor when this requirement next comes to market would need to demonstrate a system suited to instrument tracking throughout that operational process, and the ability to meet the buyer’s contingency and disaster-recovery inventory needs. The contract also includes a performance measure requiring compliance with agreed response, fix and resolution times, so suppliers should be able to support reliable service and demonstrate that they can meet such commitments. The award was made under a framework, indicating that suppliers seeking similar work from this buyer should understand the relevant framework route. The awarded supplier is Health Edge Solutions.
