Summary of the contracting process

Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust bought Siemens Atellica Middleware, described in the contract as Siemens Atellica Software. The requirement is a software package for managing licences, classified under CPV 48218000. It supports the Trust’s use of the Siemens Atellica system, although the procurement data does not describe wider implementation, support or integration services. The buying organisation is the Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, based on Liverpool Road in Chester. The named supplier is Siemens Healthcare Limited, a large UK-based healthcare technology company. This opportunity is therefore relevant primarily to suppliers of Siemens Atellica software or authorised partners able to provide the associated licence-management package to an NHS hospital trust.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. There was one completed lot. Siemens Healthcare Limited received the award on 21 July 2026. The contract was signed on 21 July 2026 and runs from 22 July 2026 to 23 July 2026. Its value is £32,429.74 excluding VAT, or £38,915.68 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The requirement was evaluated through a direct award route rather than a competitive tender. The procurement was conducted under the legal basis of the UK Public Contracts Act 2023, reference 2023/54. The contract covers the Siemens Atellica software requirement and its associated licence-management software package.

This award is useful market evidence for businesses tracking NHS demand for laboratory or healthcare software linked to Siemens Atellica systems. The selected supplier is Siemens Healthcare Limited, so the requirement appears closely tied to a named manufacturer’s software rather than a broadly interchangeable licence-management product. A competitor seeking to address a future requirement from this Trust would need a credible route to supply Siemens Atellica Middleware, together with the licensing rights or manufacturer relationship needed to provide it. Relevant businesses are therefore likely to be Siemens, an authorised Siemens Healthineers channel partner, or a specialist software supplier with demonstrable access to the same proprietary platform. The requirement is narrow and software-led, rather than a general IT services opportunity.
