UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust procured an annual charge for its CDS translation service. This is a language translation service, intended to support the Trust’s CDS-related work. The awarded item is classified as translation services (CPV 79530000). Delivery is in the North East of England, with the buyer based at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Gateshead. The requirement is presented as a single lot and forms part of the Trust’s purchasing of translation services. The named supplier is Egton Medical Information Systems Limited, trading as EMIS in the requirement description. The scope is described at service level rather than by listing particular languages, document types or volumes, so its central commercial focus is providing the translation service under an annual charge.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Egton Medical Information Systems Limited (EMIS). The contract was signed on 1 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. Its value is £10,629 excluding VAT (£12,754.80 including VAT). The procurement was a below-threshold process; the specific procedure is described as unknown. It was arranged as one lot, which is also complete. The published outcome identifies the translation-service supplier but does not give a separate evaluation formula or award criteria. The purchase is classified as a service, and the stated contract value is for the annual charge. The award is active and the contract is active.

This award shows that Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust buys translation services through an annual-charge arrangement for CDS-related requirements. A credible competitor for a future equivalent requirement would need to demonstrate dependable translation-service delivery suited to the Trust’s needs, together with the operational capacity to support an annual service arrangement. Relevant experience would include handling healthcare or NHS material and delivering accurate translations within appropriate confidentiality and quality controls; these are commercially pertinent capabilities, although the procurement details do not set them out as formal participation conditions. The selected supplier is a large company, indicating that an established provider was chosen, but the award does not establish that only large suppliers can compete. The requirement is a focused, single-lot service rather than a wider translation programme, so suppliers whose offer matches this buyer’s CDS translation need are the most relevant comparators.
