Summary of the contracting process

Birmingham Women’s and Children’s NHS Foundation Trust bought services for additional administration and reporting packages within the ChemoCare system. The requirement covers annual support or functionality charges associated with ChemoCare, including contract administration services (CPV 79994000). The service is for the Trust and is managed through the Birmingham and Solihull Procurement Collaborative, hosted by University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust on behalf of multiple NHS Trusts in the Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care System. Delivery is centred in Birmingham. The selected provider is System C Ltd, a large supplier of healthcare information technology and related system services. This opportunity is therefore most relevant to businesses that develop, supply, support or administer ChemoCare or closely integrated NHS clinical and administrative systems.

The procurement has been completed and the contract awarded to System C Ltd. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the stated legal basis of the Procurement Act 2023. The award is active and the related contract is active. The award date is not recorded, while the contract was signed on 12 June 2026. The contract runs from 15 June 2026 to 15 June 2027. Its value is £11,965 excluding VAT, or £14,358 including VAT. There was one completed lot covering the ChemoCare administration and reporting requirement. The available evaluation route was direct selection rather than a competitive assessment, so the award reflects the supplier’s ability to provide the required proprietary or system-specific service.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined NHS requirement for continuing ChemoCare administration and reporting capability. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical expertise in ChemoCare, or a demonstrably compatible platform and support model, together with the ability to maintain system functionality and deliver reliable administration and reporting services for an NHS trust. Experience working with clinical information systems, NHS governance, data protection, service continuity and healthcare operational users would strengthen its position. The route used here also shows that system ownership, compatibility or existing supplier capability can be commercially decisive where a requirement is treated as a below-threshold direct award. Businesses tracking this buyer should therefore monitor demand for specialist healthcare software support rather than general contract administration alone.
