Summary of the contracting process

The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre NHS Foundation Trust procured annual software support and maintenance for its eConsent system. This is a specialist software support service rather than a new software implementation or general NHS IT contract. The requirement serves the Trust’s operations in Bebington, Wirral, with delivery recorded in the United Kingdom. The selected supplier was Magentus Software Limited, a software company based in London and classified as an SME. The work concerns continuing technical support and maintenance for an existing eConsent product, so suppliers with experience supporting live digital consent platforms, healthcare software and associated service users would be most relevant. The buyer is a public NHS foundation trust, making familiarity with public-sector service expectations and clinical technology environments commercially relevant.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Magentus Software Limited through a direct award below the threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 29 May 2026 and runs from 29 May 2026 to 28 May 2027. Its value is £11,419.56 excluding VAT, or £13,703.47 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The requirement was handled as a single lot and evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The contract covers software support services, classified under CPV 72261000. The contracting authority is The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre NHS Foundation Trust. The recorded scope is annual support and maintenance for eConsent software, with the contract period defining the service term.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement for recurring support of an eConsent platform within an NHS cancer-care organisation. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical capability to maintain and support live software used for digital consent, including incident handling, troubleshooting, updates and continuity of service. Experience of healthcare technology environments would help, particularly where support must fit clinical workflows, protect sensitive information and minimise disruption to patient-facing or staff-facing processes. Suppliers should be able to provide a dependable annual maintenance service at SME scale, with clear support arrangements and evidence of maintaining comparable software products. Familiarity with NHS governance, service management and public-sector contracting would strengthen credibility for this buyer and similar future procurements.
