UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured an integration engine and technical expertise for developing and supporting integrations between clinical systems. This is a healthcare information-technology services requirement, including software support and the technical work needed to connect clinical systems so that information can be exchanged between them. The buying organisation is Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, based in Liverpool. The source data identifies the requirement as software support services and describes the service as supplying an integration engine alongside technical expertise. The work is therefore relevant to suppliers providing healthcare integration platforms, integration-engine support and specialist technical services for clinical-system connectivity.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. One lot was completed, and the contract was awarded to Interoperability Health (UK) Ltd. The contract was signed on 27 August 2026 and runs from 28 August 2026 to 27 August 2027. Its value is £32,972.66 excluding VAT, or £39,567.19 including VAT. The awarded service is classified as software support services. The published outcome identifies one active award and one active contract. The evaluation basis is consequently the buyer’s direct-award decision rather than a competitive tender, with the requirement focused on integration-engine supply and technical expertise for clinical-system integrations.

This procurement shows a defined NHS demand for a specialist integration-engine supplier able to provide both the platform and the technical expertise to develop and support links between clinical systems. Competitors would need credible capability in healthcare interoperability, integration-engine configuration and ongoing software support, with enough technical depth to work across clinical-system environments. Relevant experience should include designing, developing, maintaining and troubleshooting system integrations rather than supplying general software alone. Suppliers with an established integration-engine offering, experienced technical staff and the capacity to provide continuing support to an NHS foundation trust would be well placed when this type of requirement returns to the market.
