UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS England procured the renewal of a digital platform comprising Referapatient and Treatapatient, specifically supporting the use of Zolgensma for patients with spinal muscular atrophy. The requirement is a software and digital support service, covering software supply, internet-based functionality and related IT support. The buying organisation is NHS England, a central government public authority. The named supplier, Bloomsbury Health, is based in London, and the procurement concerns a service used within NHS England’s operational arrangements. Businesses relevant to this requirement are providers of healthcare-focused digital platforms, referral and treatment-management systems, software supply, and associated technical support. The service is focused on a defined medicine pathway rather than general-purpose IT provision.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. It comprised one completed lot. The contract was awarded to Bloomsbury Health and signed on 1 April 2026. The active contract runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £18,224.25 excluding VAT, or £21,863.09 including VAT. The evaluation route was direct award rather than a competitive assessment, and the published outcome identifies Bloomsbury Health as the supplier for the full requirement. This is therefore an awarded contract outcome, not an invitation for suppliers to submit bids. The procurement’s stated subject is Referapatient for Zolgensma for spinal muscular atrophy.

For suppliers assessing future NHS England demand, this procurement demonstrates a requirement for a focused digital platform linking referral and treatment processes around a specialist medicine pathway. A credible competitor would need to provide reliable healthcare software, secure and usable digital workflows, software supply, internet-based platform functionality and ongoing technical support. Understanding the operational needs of NHS services dealing with spinal muscular atrophy and Zolgensma would be important, alongside the ability to maintain a defined platform rather than deliver a one-off technology project. The awarded supplier is a large London-based healthcare business, indicating that relevant market participants may combine healthcare-sector understanding with established software delivery and support capacity. The direct, below-threshold route also shows the buyer’s approach for this requirement.
