Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured and implemented a new finance ledger system, NEP Cloud, which has gone live. The requirement is an IT service covering finance software, implementation and associated support for the Trust’s financial ledger operations. It falls within IT services, including consulting, software development, internet and support services. The work is delivered in Cambridge, within the Trust’s hospital and administrative environment. The buying organisation is Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, a public NHS authority. The procurement comprised one completed lot and involved a service requirement rather than the supply of physical goods or construction works. The selected provider was Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, indicating delivery by an organisation with experience of operating in the NHS environment and implementing a finance system for a healthcare organisation.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust selected Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust through a below-threshold route described as unknown. The award was made on 21 September 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 22 September 2026 to 21 September 2027. Its value is £26,076.50 excluding VAT, or £31,291.80 including VAT. One supplier received the award for the single lot, which is also complete. The requirement was evaluated and procured as an IT services contract, covering consulting, software development, internet and support services. The service has already been implemented and the NEP Cloud finance ledger system is live. The contract is active rather than cancelled or terminated.

This procurement shows demand from an NHS foundation trust for a finance ledger system that can be implemented and operated in a healthcare setting. Suppliers preparing for a future requirement of this type would need credible finance software capability, experience of system implementation and the capacity to provide continuing technical support throughout the contract period. Familiarity with NHS organisations, their financial processes and operational requirements would be commercially relevant, as the selected provider was another large NHS foundation trust. Businesses offering consulting, software development, internet or support services could be relevant where they can demonstrate a complete finance-ledger service rather than a standalone product. The requirement also indicates that the buyer values a cloud-based system capable of going live and supporting live financial operations.
