Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

City Hospitals Independent Commercial Enterprises Limited procured an electronic inventory management system for South Tyneside District Hospital and Sunderland Royal Hospital. The requirement included a Point-of-Care module to support Scan4Safety, MDoR reporting and cost-improvement responsibilities. This is a goods procurement for inventory management software (CPV 48430000), covering the provision of the system rather than a general technology service. The buyer is based at Sunderland Royal Hospital and operates in the health sector. Suppliers relevant to this requirement would provide software for managing hospital inventory and associated point-of-care processes across these two hospital sites. The system needed to support the organisation’s operational reporting and efforts to improve costs through better inventory control.

The procurement is complete and the award is active. Genesis Automation UK Ltd was selected, and the contract was signed on 14 July 2026 for £289,000. The procedure was a limited award without prior publication of a call for competition, using a further competition under the NHS Commercial Solutions Pharmacy Robots, Inventory Management Systems, Assets, and Associated Services framework. Three electronic bids were recorded. Evaluation gave 60% to technical specification and service, 10% to social value and 30% to price. The procurement had one lot for the electronic inventory management system; that lot is recorded as cancelled, while the related award and contract are active. The contract period is not stated.

This award demonstrates a defined NHS requirement for hospital inventory management software with a Point-of-Care capability, supporting Scan4Safety, MDoR reporting and cost-improvement work across two hospital sites. Competitors would need a mature system that can operate in clinical environments, manage inventory effectively and support the buyer’s reporting responsibilities. Credibility would also depend on demonstrating strong technical performance and service delivery, alongside a clear social-value offer and competitive pricing. Suppliers seeking similar work from this buyer should understand the NHS Commercial Solutions framework route for pharmacy robots, inventory management systems, assets and associated services, because the completed procurement used a further competition under that framework. The selected supplier was a large business, indicating a requirement of substantial operational scale.
