Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured a new finance ledger system. The requirement is an IT service covering software development, consulting, implementation and support for finance ledger operations. The procurement is categorised as services rather than goods or works. Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is the buying organisation. The awarded service relates to delivery in the United Kingdom, with the buyer based at Hills Road, Cambridge. The requirement is focused on replacing or introducing a finance ledger capability, rather than a general IT support contract, so relevant experience is likely to include financial systems and the associated technical services needed to put them into operation and maintain them.

The procurement has completed and the single lot was awarded. It used a below-threshold procedure, with the detailed method recorded as unknown. Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 21 September 2026 and runs from 22 September 2026 to 21 September 2027. Its value is £26,076.50 excluding VAT, or £31,291.80 including VAT. The award covers IT services for the finance ledger system. The published outcome records one active award and one active contract, with the award linked to the single completed lot. No award date is recorded separately from the contract signing date.

This procurement shows a defined NHS demand for a finance ledger system delivered as a supported IT service. Suppliers that could be credible for a future requirement of this kind would need practical capability in finance software, ledger implementation, systems integration, technical consulting and ongoing user or application support. Experience working with NHS or comparable public-sector finance processes would help demonstrate understanding of governance, auditability, data handling and operational continuity, although the procurement data does not set out formal accreditations or minimum experience thresholds. The selected supplier was another NHS foundation trust, indicating that an organisation with relevant in-house finance-system capability can compete alongside commercial technology providers. A strong competitor would therefore need to show both technical delivery skills and reliable support for a healthcare finance environment.
