Summary of the contracting process

Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust commissioned the renewal of its bespoke Medisoft IT system for ophthalmology. The requirement is for specialist clinical software and associated data services supporting the Trust’s eye-care work. The named buying organisation is Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, based at Leighton Hospital in Crewe. The recorded service 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. The system is tailored to ophthalmology rather than general-purpose IT, making the requirement relevant to suppliers with experience in specialist eye-care software and its supporting data services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Medisoft. The Trust used a direct award without competition under a below-threshold procedure. There was one lot, covering the renewal of the ophthalmology system. The contract was signed on 30 June 2026 and runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027. Its value is £24,785.95 excluding VAT and £29,743.14 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The published procurement data does not state an award date separately; the contract signature date is the recorded date associated with the agreement. No evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility conditions are recorded for this procurement.

This award shows that the Trust purchases a bespoke IT system specifically for ophthalmology, with data services forming part of the requirement. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to demonstrate a specialist eye-care system that can support the Trust’s clinical workflows, alongside the capability to maintain or renew tailored software and provide dependable data services. Experience implementing or supporting ophthalmology systems in a hospital setting would help establish relevance, as would the capacity to deliver a focused, single-buyer service rather than a broad general IT offer. The Trust selected an established supplier through a direct award without competition, so a future challenger would need to make its specialist fit and delivery capability clear to the Trust.
