UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Northamptonshire Council is procuring a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) for a new CT post-mortem imaging service at its newly built County Mortuary in Northampton. The requirement covers software supply, implementation, support and maintenance for imaging produced by a Siemens SOMATOM go.Up CT scanner. The system must support the operational, security, retention and interoperability needs set out in the specification and enable the service to be established quickly. This is a services procurement for a new implementation, with no legacy PACS system or data migration requirement. The work will support the council’s mortuary service in Northampton, England.

The procurement has reached tender: West Northamptonshire Council invited quotations through a below-threshold open competition. Suppliers were required to submit their responses by 12:00 on 11 September 2026. The contract is expected to run from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2028, with a possible two further one-year renewals, giving a maximum end date of 31 October 2030. The estimated value is £85,000 excluding VAT (£102,000 including VAT). There is one lot. Submissions will be evaluated and scored against the criteria set out in the Request for Quotation. The procurement uses a single-stage open procedure and electronic submission is not permitted.

This opportunity suits PACS and healthcare imaging software suppliers able to deliver a complete new system rather than migrate an existing archive. Bidders need to demonstrate a solution that interfaces effectively with the Siemens SOMATOM go.Up CT scanner and meets defined operational, information-security, data-retention and interoperability requirements. The appointed supplier will need capacity to implement the system promptly, provide ongoing technical support and maintain the service throughout the agreement and any renewals. Suppliers should be prepared to complete the detailed requirements response and provide supporting evidence, together with draft standard contract terms and conditions. The opportunity is reserved for organisations located in England.
