Summary of the contracting process

Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust bought renewal of support for its Solus endoscopy software system. This is a software support service for the Trust’s endoscopy software, rather than a purchase of new software or clinical equipment. The buying organisation is based at Leighton Hospital in Crewe. The service is categorised as software support services (CPV 72261000). The contract’s delivery locations are recorded across England, covering the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The requirement is specifically tied to the continuing support of Solus endoscopy software, so suppliers of unrelated hospital IT, general software or endoscopy equipment would not match its stated scope.

The procurement is complete: the Trust selected HD Clinical Limited and signed the contract on 30 June 2026. The contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027. Its value is £18,629 excluding VAT and £22,354 including VAT. The tender was a below-threshold process; the recorded method detail does not identify a more specific route. There was one lot, covering the software support requirement, and that lot is complete. The award is active, and the contract is recorded as active. The award information does not provide a separate award date or a stated evaluation basis, so the outcome identifies the successful supplier but does not show how bids were assessed.

This award shows that Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust buys ongoing support for its Solus endoscopy software, and that the work was placed as a single, below-threshold services requirement. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need the capability to support the Solus system specifically, including the relevant software support expertise and capacity to maintain service through the contract period. Suppliers focused only on installing new systems, supplying medical devices or supporting unrelated hospital software are less closely aligned with this purchase. HD Clinical Limited was selected for this requirement, demonstrating that a specialist supplier was appointed. The contract is modest in scale and time-limited, so suppliers should assess whether they can provide focused support for this system and meet the Trust’s operational needs.
