Summary of the contracting process

Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust procured a sexual health partner notification service. The requirement is categorised as a service, with the stated classification covering medical software development services. The work relates to supporting partner notification in sexual health, likely involving software or digital service delivery alongside the relevant health service activity. The buying organisation is Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust, based in Leeds. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Organisations operating in sexual health, partner notification, digital health, clinical service support or medical software development may therefore find the subject matter relevant, particularly where they can combine technical delivery with understanding of sensitive healthcare pathways and patient information.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. SXT HEALTH CIC was selected as supplier for the single lot. The award date was 27 July 2026. The award value is £18,026.25 excluding VAT, or £21,631.50 including VAT. The contract period runs from 5 August 2026 to 4 August 2027, with signature scheduled for 5 August 2026. The award is recorded as active, while a separate award record remains pending signature. The published procurement outcome identifies medical software development services as the awarded category. This was a direct award rather than an open tender, so the process did not involve competitive bids or a scored evaluation published in the procurement data.

This award indicates demand from a community healthcare NHS trust for a focused sexual health partner notification capability supported by medical software development. A credible future competitor would need to understand partner notification workflows, sexual health service operations and the handling of sensitive personal and clinical information. Relevant technical capability could include developing, configuring, integrating or supporting software used by healthcare teams, with strong attention to confidentiality, security, usability and reliable service delivery. Experience working with NHS or community healthcare organisations would help demonstrate operational understanding, while clinical governance, information-governance practice and the ability to work with health professionals would strengthen credibility. The requirement is explicitly suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that specialist smaller providers and mission-led organisations can be well placed.
