UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured an ECRI subscription, classified as an information technology service. The requirement is for access to the ECRI subscription for the Trust’s purposes, with the arrangement allowing annual renewal. The buying organisation is an NHS teaching hospitals trust based at Lincoln County Hospital in Lincoln. The service is therefore intended to support the Trust’s operations in Lincolnshire, although the procurement does not identify a wider delivery location. This is a specialist subscription-based information service rather than a works project or supply of physical goods, so relevant businesses are those providing comparable information technology subscriptions and associated access to specialist information resources for public-sector or healthcare organisations.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct award below the threshold, without competition. The contract was awarded to ECRI on 12 May 2026, with an active contract running from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2031. The awarded value is £97,652.18 excluding VAT, or £117,182.62 including VAT. The arrangement covers one lot and the tender description allows for an ECRI subscription of up to five years, with optional annual subscription renewal for five years. The award is active and the contract is active. Evaluation was not competitive because the Trust used a below-threshold direct procurement route without competition.

This award demonstrates a substantial, multi-year requirement for a specialist information technology subscription within an NHS teaching hospitals trust. Businesses considering comparable future requirements would need to provide a dependable subscription service, maintain continuous access for an organisational user, and support a public-sector customer over a long operating period. The relevant capability is less about delivering one-off software development or physical equipment and more about supplying an established information resource through a managed subscription model. Credible competitors should be able to show that their service can meet the operational needs of a large healthcare organisation, provide clear renewal arrangements, and sustain contract performance and customer support throughout the agreement.
