Summary of the contracting process

The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre NHS Foundation Trust procured year-four support for its RayStation software, a radiotherapy treatment-planning system. The requirement is software maintenance and repair services, supporting continued operation of the centre’s RayStation system. The contract is for the Trust in the United Kingdom. The published scope identifies a single service requirement rather than separate lots or a wider package of software services.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Trust awarded the single service contract directly to RAYSEARCH UK LIMITED, without competition, using a below-threshold procedure. The contract was signed on 6 July 2026 and runs from 7 July 2026 to 6 July 2027. Its stated value is £58,692 excluding VAT (£70,430.40 including VAT). The award is for RayStation year-four service support. No award evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements are stated in the published procurement details.

This award shows demand at The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre for specialist ongoing maintenance and repair of its RayStation radiotherapy planning software. A credible supplier for a future requirement would need to demonstrate strong product-specific expertise in supporting RayStation, including the ability to maintain the system reliably and resolve software faults. The buyer used a direct, non-competitive route for this below-threshold purchase, and selected RAYSEARCH UK LIMITED, the software supplier identified in the award. Suppliers without relevant RayStation capability or experience supporting a specialist cancer treatment environment are less closely aligned with this requirement. The scope is focused on maintaining an existing system, rather than supplying general IT support or unrelated healthcare technology.
