Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence sought a hosted software-as-a-service exercise prescription application for Defence Rehabilitation. The solution was intended to let clinicians create, issue, review and update individual rehabilitation programmes, while allowing patients to access their programmes digitally. This is a healthcare and defence rehabilitation software service, combining medical software with application hosting and support. The requirement was for a complete digital platform rather than a standalone software licence, with the service supporting interaction between clinical users and patients. Delivery would be for Defence Rehabilitation, with the buying organisation based at DMS Whittington in Lichfield. Suppliers with experience delivering secure hosted healthcare applications, clinician-facing workflow tools and patient digital access would be relevant to the requirement.

The process reached tender: the Ministry of Defence invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission allowed in English through the Defence Sourcing Portal. It was subsequently cancelled on 10 August 2026 because the Authority wanted to carry out a comprehensive review of the requirement. The enquiry deadline was 3 August 2026 at 12:00 and the tender deadline was 21 August 2026 at 12:00; the planned award decision date was 14 September 2026. The single lot was valued at £332,190 excluding VAT and £398,628 including VAT. The contract was planned from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2031, with options for one-year extensions through 31 December 2033. Evaluation was 60% technical quality and 40% cost.

This opportunity suited suppliers able to provide and operate a hosted software-as-a-service platform for defence rehabilitation. Relevant capability included designing exercise prescription workflows for clinicians, enabling patients to view their programmes digitally, and supporting programme review and updates over the service lifecycle. Suppliers would need the technical capacity to host, maintain and support an application used by both professional and patient users. Experience in medical software, application service provision, digital health or rehabilitation technology would have been particularly relevant. The requirement also suited businesses able to manage a long-term public-sector service, translate clinical requirements into dependable software, and provide a secure, usable platform for Defence Rehabilitation. The cancellation means this tender no longer offers an award opportunity, but the requirement may be of interest to suppliers monitoring future defence rehabilitation software procurements.
