Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured a finance enterprise resource planning (ERP) and eProcurement system delivered through the cloud. The system is intended to support operation across multiple sites and NHS trusts under a multi-Trust arrangement, rather than serving a single location or department. The requirement covers financial analysis, accounting and finance systems software, including the associated eProcurement capability. Delivery is identified in Darwen, with the buying organisation based in Preston. This is a business systems and software opportunity for suppliers able to provide, configure and support a cloud-based finance platform suitable for complex NHS structures and shared use across multiple organisations. The procurement was run through the NOE NHS PiP Non-Clinical Systems Dynamic Purchasing System.

The procurement is complete and an active award was made to Advanced Health and Care. The contract was signed on 24 April 2026 for £1,188,050 in total. The award followed a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, as a competition under the relevant dynamic purchasing system. Four bids were recorded. Evaluation balanced commercial cost and quality: commercial criteria accounted for 40%, technical quality for 40%, supplementary questions for 15%, and social value for 5%. The requirement was structured as one lot, although that lot is recorded as cancelled while the related award remains active. The contracting record identifies a single supplier and no additional purchase options.

This requirement indicates demand from an NHS foundation trust for a substantial, cloud-based finance ERP that can operate across multiple sites and NHS trusts. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement of this kind would need a mature finance and accounting software product, eProcurement functionality, and the implementation capability to support shared operation across organisational boundaries. Credibility would also depend on demonstrating strong technical performance, a clear approach to supplementary requirements, and measurable social value alongside competitive pricing. The evaluation shows that technical and commercial performance carried equal weight, so a supplier would need both a robust platform and a commercially disciplined delivery model. Experience of complex public-sector or NHS environments would help demonstrate that the system can support multi-Trust governance and processes.
