Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured enhancements to its existing Civica CCM catering platform. The work covers electronic meal ordering, integration with the EPIC system and stock-management functionality. This is software development and enhancement work for hospital catering operations, rather than a purchase of catering supplies or food. Delivery is in Cambridge, England. The requirement concerns an established platform and its connection to the Trust’s clinical system, as well as the tools used to manage stock. Civica UK Limited was selected to provide the service.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Civica UK Limited was awarded the single lot; the contract was signed on 16 October 2026 and runs from 19 October 2026 to 18 October 2027. Its value is £49,930 excluding VAT, or £59,916 including VAT. The procurement was described as below threshold, with the specific method recorded as unknown. The award data identifies software development services for point-of-sale software, while the stated requirement is enhancement of the catering platform. The published procurement information does not set out evaluation criteria or bidder eligibility conditions.

For suppliers competing when this requirement returns to market, the relevant capability is enhancing and supporting an existing hospital catering platform, rather than supplying a standalone catering system. Credible providers would need to deliver electronic meal ordering, integrate the platform with EPIC, and add or maintain stock-management functionality. Experience working with operational healthcare systems and connecting software across catering and clinical workflows would be pertinent to this buyer’s requirement. Suppliers should be able to handle development and integration around a named, established platform; the award to Civica UK Limited shows that the Trust selected the incumbent platform provider for this enhancement. The work is a focused software services engagement, suited to firms with the technical capacity to adapt the existing system and deliver its connected functions.
