Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust bought a digital services report and recommendations. The requirement falls within IT consulting services: the work was to assess digital services and provide recommendations, rather than supply a defined software product or operational support service. The procurement was for one lot. The Trust is based in Cambridge, and the stated delivery location is in the United Kingdom. This is relevant to consultancies and IT services firms whose work includes reviewing digital services and developing recommendations for a large healthcare organisation. The available description does not further define the services or identify particular systems, technologies or clinical areas, so the stated requirement is best understood as a report and recommendation exercise.

The procurement is complete and awarded. Adepteq Ltd was selected as the supplier for the single lot, and the Trust signed an active contract on 22 October 2026. The contract runs from 23 October 2026 to 22 October 2027. Its value is £40,000 excluding VAT and £48,000 including VAT. The process was described as below threshold, with the procurement method recorded as unknown. The award is active. The data does not provide an award date or an evaluation basis, so the contract signature date should not be read as the date of the award decision. The contracting process was conducted under the Procurement Act 2023.

This award demonstrates demand from Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust for a focused review of digital services, followed by practical recommendations. A supplier competing for a similar requirement would need to show that it can assess an organisation’s digital services and communicate findings in a clear, useful report. Experience working with a large healthcare organisation would help establish relevance to the Trust’s setting, although no specific NHS accreditation, technology platform, or clinical expertise is identified as a requirement here. The single-lot, below-threshold route and modest contract scale indicate a contained consultancy assignment rather than a large systems implementation. Firms able to deliver a defined assessment and recommendations within that scale are the closest fit.
