Summary of the contracting process

Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust procured support and maintenance services for Spacelabs Sentinel, a healthcare software system. The requirement is software support and maintenance rather than new software or equipment, and the contract is intended to keep the Sentinel system supported. Delivery is in the North East of England. The buying organisation is Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust, based at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Gateshead. The service falls within software support services.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Spacelabs Healthcare Limited. The single lot was awarded under a below-threshold procurement route. The contract was signed on 28 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2031. Its value is £15,511.80 excluding VAT (£18,614.16 including VAT), with an annual cost of £3,102.36. The award is for support and maintenance of Spacelabs Sentinel. No evaluation criteria are set out in the available procurement details.

This award shows demand from Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust for ongoing support and maintenance of its Spacelabs Sentinel system. Suppliers seeking to compete for a similar requirement would need credible capability to support and maintain this specific healthcare software platform, with the technical expertise to sustain its operation over a multi-year service period. The incumbent, Spacelabs Healthcare Limited, is the system supplier and was selected for this contract. The requirement is a relatively focused software support service rather than a large-scale implementation, so relevant platform knowledge and the capacity to provide dependable ongoing maintenance are central to competing effectively when this buyer next needs the service.
