UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured an Image Exchange Portal (IEP) service, providing access to its Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS). The requirement is for software-related services supporting the exchange of medical images through the Trust’s imaging system. The buying organisation is West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, based at Watford General Hospital in Watford. This is a healthcare IT requirement focused on access to PACS through an image exchange portal.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Sectra Limited. The Trust used a direct award below the procurement threshold, without competition. The award covers one lot. The contract was signed on 24 April 2026 and runs from 27 April 2026 to 26 April 2027. Its value is £21,560 excluding VAT, or £25,872 including VAT. The published award information identifies the selected supplier, but does not provide a separate award date.

This award shows demand from West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust for a specialist image exchange portal that enables access to a hospital PACS. Suppliers competing for a similar requirement would need to demonstrate that their software can support secure, dependable exchange of medical imaging and integrate with the Trust’s imaging environment. Relevant healthcare IT experience, including delivery and support of imaging or PACS-related services, would help establish credibility. The selection was made through a direct award without competition, so this outcome does not provide evidence of a competitive evaluation or of specific technical, accreditation or capacity requirements. Sectra Limited, a large supplier, was selected for this service requirement.
