Summary of the contracting process

Medway NHS Foundation Trust procured an EPR testing delivery service to support its electronic patient record programme. The requirement concerns testing delivery for information systems and servers, covering the planning, execution or support of tests associated with the EPR environment. The buying organisation is Medway NHS Foundation Trust, based at Medway Maritime Hospital in Gillingham. Delivery covers the English regions represented by the procurement, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. This is an information technology and systems testing requirement rather than general clinical provision, construction or routine hardware supply. It may therefore suit businesses providing specialist EPR, healthcare technology or information systems testing services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold process; the published method detail describes the route as below threshold, with the specific method recorded as unknown. Health Systems Support Limited was selected as supplier for the single lot. The award date was 10 August 2026 and the awarded value was £509,080. The latest recorded contract period runs from 11 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. Earlier recorded start dates were 1 September and 8 September 2026, with the same supplier and value. A future signature milestone was scheduled for 10 September 2026. The award records classify the requirement as goods, with information systems and servers as the associated classification. The process was evaluated through the below-threshold route, with no further award criteria stated.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear reference point for the type of capability Medway NHS Foundation Trust has bought: specialist testing delivery supporting an electronic patient record and wider information systems. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to demonstrate practical EPR testing expertise, the ability to plan and deliver structured tests, and experience working with complex healthcare information systems and servers. It would also need sufficient delivery capacity to support activity across multiple English regions, rather than only a single local site. Health Systems Support Limited is recorded as an SME, showing that the requirement was delivered by a smaller specialist technology business rather than necessarily a large systems integrator. Relevant evidence would include comparable EPR or healthcare technology testing work and the ability to deliver reliably across a defined contract period.
