Summary of the contracting process

United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust bought payment-provider services for obstetric photo kiosks. The requirement supports the operation of kiosks that take payments connected with photographs provided to users of obstetric services. The procurement is associated with the Trust, which is based at Lincoln County Hospital in Lincoln, and concerns payment-service provision rather than general hospital payment processing or wider IT services. The contracted supply falls within office and computing machinery, equipment and supplies, excluding furniture and software packages. Businesses relevant to this requirement are payment providers able to support kiosk-based transactions and the associated equipment or operational interfaces in a hospital environment. The named buyer is United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to klidos limited. It used a direct award below the threshold without competition. The award covered one lot and has active status. The contract was signed on 1 August 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2031. Its value is £17,460 excluding VAT, or £20,952 including VAT. The selected supplier is klidos limited, based in Plymouth. The outcome shows that the Trust chose a single supplier for the payment-provider requirement for obstetric photo kiosks. The procurement was treated as a goods purchase, with the relevant classification covering office and computing machinery, equipment and supplies rather than software packages or furniture.

This award indicates a defined requirement for payment services supporting obstetric photo kiosks within an NHS hospital trust. A credible future competitor would need to provide reliable kiosk payment functionality, integrate with the equipment and service process used for obstetric photographs, and support transactions in a healthcare setting. Operational resilience, secure handling of payments and dependable service support would be important capabilities for this type of requirement, although the award records do not set out specific accreditations or technical standards. The buyer used a below-threshold direct award without competition, so suppliers seeking comparable work would need to understand how to present a suitable, proportionate solution to the Trust and demonstrate that they can support a focused single-site or trust-wide kiosk payment service.
