UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Birmingham Women’s and Children’s NHS Foundation Trust procured an upgrade to the ChemoCare system, including the purchase of additional software modules supplied by System C Ltd. The requirement is for software and information systems supporting the Trust’s chemotherapy-related operations. Birmingham Women’s and Children’s NHS Foundation Trust is the buying organisation, while University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust managed the procurement through the Birmingham and Solihull Procurement Collaborative, a shared procurement service for NHS trusts within the Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care System. The work is associated with healthcare service delivery in Birmingham. The selected supplier is System C Ltd, a large software provider based in Oxford.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It was a direct award below the applicable threshold, made without competition. System C Ltd was selected for the ChemoCare upgrade and additional modules. The contract was signed on 12 June 2026, runs from 15 June 2026 to 15 June 2027, and is valued at £40,280 excluding VAT, or £48,336 including VAT. The procurement used one completed lot. The published outcome identifies software and information systems as the procurement category. The award is active and the contract is active. The process was conducted under the Procurement Act 2023 legal basis.

This procurement demonstrates a specific NHS requirement for maintaining and extending the ChemoCare platform, rather than buying a general-purpose software system. Suppliers best placed to compete for comparable work would have demonstrable expertise in healthcare software, chemotherapy or medicines-related systems, and the technical ability to deliver upgrades and additional modules within an established NHS environment. Credibility would also depend on understanding the operational, data, security and integration needs of NHS trusts, and on being able to support a live clinical system with minimal disruption. System C’s selection indicates that platform knowledge and continuity were important to this requirement. Firms offering implementation, configuration, integration and specialist support around comparable healthcare applications may find this buyer’s technology demand commercially relevant.
