Summary of the contracting process

The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre NHS Foundation Trust procured services described as “DSPS Prominent Cradle for dscp”, with the resulting contract titled “Patent positoning”. The requirement is categorised as services and covers IT consulting, software development, internet and support services, alongside outpatient care services. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The buyer is the NHS Foundation Trust based in Bebington, Wirral. The procurement involved one requirement, delivered by a supplier based in Shrewsbury. The combination of IT and outpatient-care classifications indicates a specialist healthcare technology or support requirement, rather than a general IT services purchase. Businesses operating across healthcare technology, software support, clinical systems or related outpatient service provision are the most relevant comparison group for this procurement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. One lot was completed and awarded to Oncology Systems Limited. The award is active. The contract was signed on 9 July 2026, has a period from 13 July 2026 to 13 July 2026, and is valued at £12,081 net, or £14,497.20 including gross value, in GBP. The recorded contract title is “Patent positoning”. The published outcome identifies the buyer, the selected supplier and the contract value. This was a non-competitive purchase rather than an open tender, so the route to award is a key indicator for suppliers assessing how this buyer has sourced a comparable requirement.

This award demonstrates demand from an NHS cancer centre for a small, specialist healthcare technology service combining IT support or software capability with an outpatient-care context. A future competitor would need to show that it can understand clinical operating environments, support healthcare-facing systems reliably and translate technical work into usable outcomes for NHS services. Relevant evidence would include comparable work for hospitals, cancer services, outpatient teams or clinical technology users, together with the capacity to deliver a focused requirement efficiently. Oncology Systems Limited is recorded as an SME supplier, indicating that a smaller specialist business can be credible for this type of purchase. Suppliers should also understand direct, below-threshold purchasing routes and maintain a clear proposition for this buyer’s specific clinical technology needs.
