Summary of the contracting process

NHS England bought a renewal of the Referapatient and Treatapatient digital platform, with the requirement titled Referapatient for Zolgensma for spinal muscular atrophy. The service covers the digital platform used in connection with Zolgensma treatment for spinal muscular atrophy. The procurement is for software supply and associated IT services. The buyer is NHS England. The named supplier, Bloomsbury Health, is based in London; the data does not state a separate place where the service is delivered.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. NHS England used a direct award below the procurement threshold without competition. There was one lot. Bloomsbury Health was selected for the service contract. The contract was signed on 1 April 2025 and runs from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026. Its value is £18,224.25 excluding VAT, or £21,863.09 including VAT. The award is for the Referapatient service for Zolgensma for spinal muscular atrophy. The available details do not describe a competitive evaluation or set out award criteria.

This award shows NHS England’s demand for a digital platform combining patient referral and treatment functions, including use for Zolgensma in spinal muscular atrophy. A credible competitor would need to supply and support relevant software, and demonstrate that its platform can serve this specialised treatment pathway. The contract was awarded directly, without competition, so this outcome does not provide evidence of a scored competitive basis or specific technical qualifications. For suppliers monitoring this buyer’s requirements, relevant experience with healthcare referral and treatment platforms, reliable software provision and the capacity to maintain a digital service would be pertinent when a comparable requirement arises. The award was made to Bloomsbury Health, a large supplier.
