UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured legal advice and support for contractual arrangements relating to an electronic patient record (EPR) solution and its associated hosting. This is a professional legal services requirement focused on advising the Trust on the contracts underpinning the EPR system and hosting arrangements. The named buyer is the NHS foundation trust in Cambridge. The work concerns the Trust’s EPR solution and associated hosting; the procurement does not identify a separate delivery site or broader service scope.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. DLA Piper UK LLP was selected for the single lot, and the contract was signed on 30 September 2026. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. Its stated value is £35,000 excluding VAT (£42,000 including VAT). The procurement was described as below threshold, with the method otherwise recorded as unknown. The published outcome identifies the requirement and successful supplier, but does not set out an evaluation basis or detailed eligibility criteria.

The award demonstrates demand from Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust for specialist legal support on the contractual arrangements for an electronic patient record system and its hosting. A credible competitor for this requirement would need experience advising healthcare organisations on complex technology procurements, EPR contractual structures, hosting arrangements, and the allocation of responsibilities and risks between a public-sector client and technology providers. The work is a defined professional advisory engagement rather than a large-scale technology implementation, so suppliers would need relevant legal expertise and the capacity to provide focused advice across the EPR and hosting arrangements. DLA Piper UK LLP was selected, indicating that a substantial legal-services provider competed successfully for this requirement.
