UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust purchased a subscription and hosting for eOpas, its occupational health service. The requirement is for hosted occupational health software, including the subscription and associated hosting, rather than a general software development project. The buying organisation is the NHS foundation trust based at Leighton Hospital in Crewe. The contract’s stated delivery coverage spans England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. This is a software service intended to support the Trust’s occupational health function. The supplier provides the eOpas service to the Trust under a single contract.

The procurement is complete and awarded: Civica UK Limited was selected, and the contract is active. The Trust used a direct award below the procurement threshold without competition. The award is for one lot. The contract was signed on 28 April 2026 and runs from 25 June 2026 to 24 June 2027. Its value is £32,835.81 excluding VAT (£39,402.97 including VAT). The stated process provides no separate scoring or evaluation basis beyond the direct award route. Civica UK Limited is the named supplier for the occupational health software subscription and hosting. The award and signed contract therefore establish the selected provider, contract value and delivery period for this requirement.

For suppliers tracking occupational health technology, this award demonstrates demand from Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust for a hosted eOpas subscription. A credible competitor when this specific requirement returns to market would need to provide the occupational health software itself, with dependable hosting and subscription support suited to an NHS trust’s occupational health service. The buyer used a direct award below threshold without competition, and Civica UK Limited was selected; suppliers should therefore be able to show a clear fit with the established eOpas requirement and offer a service the Trust can adopt and operate. The contract covers a defined single-lot software service rather than a broad IT programme. Relevant experience would include supplying and supporting occupational health software for healthcare organisations.
