UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

East and North Hertfordshire Teaching NHS Trust procured an AI contouring software solution for radiology. The requirement is classified as a medical software package and concerns the use of artificial intelligence to support autocontouring within radiology services. The buying organisation is the Trust, based at Lister Hospital in Stevenage. The procurement covered one requirement rather than a range of separately described lots, with the work focused on supplying the software solution to the Trust. This is a healthcare technology opportunity for suppliers providing specialist radiology software, AI-supported clinical applications or related medical software products. The selected supplier is Xiel Ltd, a large UK company, indicating that the Trust’s requirement was met through a commercial technology provider rather than a works or general service contractor.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Xiel Ltd was selected as the supplier for the single lot. The contract was signed on 27 July 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. It has a renewal option for a further 24 months, with a maximum contract end date of 31 July 2030. The contract value is £63,168 excluding VAT and £75,801.60 including VAT. The contract is active, while the tender is complete. The award route was a limited procurement method rather than an open competition. The published outcome identifies the product requirement as a medical software package and names Xiel Ltd as the awarded supplier.

This award provides a clear indication that East and North Hertfordshire Teaching NHS Trust buys specialist AI software for radiology autocontouring. Suppliers competing for a future requirement of this kind would need a proven medical software product capable of supporting radiology workflows and AI-assisted contouring, with the technical maturity to operate in an NHS clinical environment. A credible competitor would also need to present as an established technology provider with sufficient organisational capacity to supply, support and maintain the solution for a substantial healthcare customer. The successful supplier’s classification as a large company suggests that scale and delivery capability may be relevant, alongside specialist expertise in medical software and artificial intelligence rather than general IT provision.
