Summary of the contracting process

Homerton University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust procured a licence for the PCMIS system used by its Talking Therapies service. The package covers the system licence, maintenance, technical support and hosting, as well as SMS appointment reminders for patients and online electronic referrals. This is a software and system-management requirement, rather than a general-purpose IT support contract. The work serves the Trust’s Talking Therapies provision in London. The requirement brings together operation of the software platform and the associated hosting and patient-facing functions, including referral and appointment communications.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to PCMIS Health Technologies Ltd. The Trust used a direct award below the procurement threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 5 August 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £18,340 excluding VAT and £22,008 including VAT. There was one lot, covering the PCMIS system licence and associated services. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement data does not describe an evaluation or award-scoring basis; the stated route was a direct award without competition.

For suppliers competing for a similar requirement in future, credibility will rest on providing or supporting a suitable patient-management system for talking therapies, with reliable hosting and ongoing maintenance and technical support. The package also demonstrates demand for integrated patient communications: SMS appointment reminders and online electronic referrals sit alongside the core software licence. Suppliers should be able to show that these functions work together as an operational service for an NHS provider, rather than offering software alone. The selected supplier was a large health-technology company, indicating the type of established provider that secured this award; the procurement does not set out particular certifications, staffing levels or technical standards.
