UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust procured a four-month extension to its Skin Analytics AI service. The requirement supports the Trust’s continued use of an artificial-intelligence skin analytics contract supplied by Skin Analytics Ltd. The recorded procurement category is services, with the associated classification describing contract administration services. The buying organisation is based at Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham in Birmingham, and the contract work is connected with that Trust’s operations. This is a healthcare technology and service-continuity requirement rather than a construction, equipment supply or general consultancy opportunity. Businesses working in clinical artificial intelligence, digital dermatology, skin assessment technology or related healthcare service support would find the subject matter most relevant, particularly where they can provide an established service rather than a standalone product.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Skin Analytics Ltd through a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 30 April 2026 and runs from 1 June 2026 to 30 September 2026. Its value is £66,666 excluding VAT and £79,999.20 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement comprised one completed lot. The stated requirement was a four-month extension of the existing Skin Analytics AI contract, so the outcome reflects continuation of an incumbent service rather than a competitive selection between suppliers. The evaluation basis is therefore associated with the direct-award route and continuation of the existing arrangement, rather than published competing bids or scored tender criteria.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates that University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust buys ongoing artificial-intelligence skin analytics as a managed healthcare service, with sufficient continuity needs to extend an existing arrangement. A credible competitor for any future requirement would need a clinically relevant skin analytics capability, an operational service suitable for NHS use, and the ability to support contract administration and service continuity. Experience delivering comparable digital healthcare technology would help establish credibility, alongside evidence that the service can be maintained within a hospital environment. The procurement also shows that this buyer has used a below-threshold direct-award route for a short extension, making knowledge of NHS commercial procedures and incumbent-transition risks commercially relevant.
