UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Medway NHS Foundation Trust bought a bidirectional interface for ORU results: software and IT services to enable results to pass in both directions between systems. The requirement is a defined clinical systems integration task, rather than a broad IT support or consultancy programme. The work was for the Trust, based at Medway Maritime Hospital in Gillingham, and delivery was in the United Kingdom. This kind of interface supports the exchange of clinical result messages, with the scope centred on connecting systems and handling ORU results.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded directly to HD Clinical Limited, without competition, as a below-threshold purchase. The Trust signed the contract on 24 September 2026, the award date. The contract value is £17,750 excluding VAT (£21,300 including VAT). Its stated period runs from 24 September 2026 to 24 September 2026. There was one lot, covering the interface service. The published procurement details do not set out a competitive evaluation or scoring basis; the supplier was selected through a direct award. The awarded contract is recorded as active.

The award demonstrates demand from Medway NHS Foundation Trust for specialist integration of clinical systems, specifically a bidirectional interface for ORU results. A credible supplier for a similar requirement would need practical software integration capability and experience connecting systems so that clinical result messages can be exchanged reliably in both directions. Understanding the operational context of NHS clinical information systems and delivering a tightly scoped interface project would be relevant strengths. The scale indicated is a focused, single-lot services requirement rather than a large multi-lot transformation programme. HD Clinical Limited, a small and medium-sized supplier, was selected through a direct award; this outcome shows that a specialist supplier was suitable for the requirement, but does not establish formal qualification or evaluation criteria.
