Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured a finance ledger system for its organisation. The requirement covered the implementation and operation of NEP Cloud, a new cloud-based finance ledger system that has gone live. The procurement is categorised as IT services, including consulting, software development, internet and support services. The buying organisation is based in Cambridge. The awarded supplier is Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, indicating that the requirement was delivered by another NHS foundation trust rather than a commercial technology provider. The work relates to a single requirement and was not divided into multiple described service areas. It is relevant to suppliers providing finance systems, cloud implementation, financial management technology, systems integration or ongoing IT support for NHS organisations.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a below-threshold route described as “unknown”, with one completed lot. Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust was awarded the contract on 22 September 2026. The contract was signed on 21 September 2026 and runs from 22 September to 21 December 2026. Its value is £26,076.50 excluding VAT, or £31,291.80 including VAT. The contract is active. The procurement records the requirement as services and identifies IT services as the relevant classification. The published information does not set out separate quality, price or technical weightings, selection thresholds, participation requirements or a stated competitive procedure beyond the below-threshold route.

This award is evidence of demand from an NHS foundation trust for a finance ledger system that can be implemented into a live healthcare organisation and supported as a cloud service. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement of this kind would have practical capability in finance and general ledger platforms, cloud deployment, data migration, systems integration, user implementation and operational support. Experience working with NHS or similarly complex public-sector organisations would help demonstrate understanding of governance, financial controls, service continuity and stakeholder needs. Competitors should be able to provide a complete service rather than only software: the relevant capability spans consultancy, implementation, software, internet-based delivery and ongoing technical support for a finance system.
