Summary of the contracting process

Alder Hey commissioned a digital application service for parents and young people. The requirement is categorised as application service provider services (CPV 72416000), covering the provision of an app intended to support parents and young people. Alder Hey is the buying organisation and is based on Lower Lane in Frzakerley, United Kingdom. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. This is a digital service requirement rather than a construction, physical goods or general consultancy contract. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are software companies, application service providers and specialist digital health or family-support technology firms able to provide and maintain an app for parents and young people. The requirement relates to a single service lot.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Alder Hey used a direct award below the applicable threshold without competition. MY HAPPY MIND LIMITED was selected as supplier for the single lot. The contract was signed on 30 June 2026 and runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 July 2027. Its value is £78,527 net, or £94,232.40 including tax. The contract is active. The award concerns application service provider services delivered across the United Kingdom. The published procurement information does not set out an evaluation weighting or comparative tender process, consistent with the direct-award route. The selected supplier is identified as MY HAPPY MIND LIMITED.

This award demonstrates a specific requirement from Alder Hey for a digital app serving parents and young people, delivered across the United Kingdom. Businesses considering future work of this kind would need credible application service provider capability, including the ability to deliver a reliable digital product for families and young users. Relevant suppliers may include specialist app developers, digital health businesses, family-support technology providers and established software companies. The successful supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that the requirement can be delivered by an SME rather than only a large technology provider. A future competitor would need a clear service proposition for parents and young people, suitable delivery capacity, and experience providing an operational application service to a public-sector health organisation.
