Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust procured anticoagulation management software and associated IT software package services. The system is intended to support the management of anticoagulation care. The requirement was assigned to the Buckinghamshire area, with the Trust as buyer. The procurement was classified as medical software development services (CPV 72212180), although the description centres on the software package and its management function. The Trust’s requirement was arranged as a single lot. The supplier selected was 4 S Information Systems Ltd, a large company based in Cumbria. The contract also allows for a possible 12-month extension, indicating that the buyer may continue using the software beyond the initial contract period.

The procurement is complete and a supplier has been selected. Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust awarded the contract to 4 S Information Systems Ltd. The contract value is £61,732. It was signed on 5 October 2026; no contract start or end dates are stated. The Trust used a limited procedure, awarding without prior publication of a competition, and reports that it used a low-value procurement framework. The tender was divided into one lot, which is marked cancelled, while the award is active and a contract is recorded as active. The published evaluation criterion for the lot was price. The data records one bid for the lot. An option permits a 12-month extension.

This award shows demand from Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust for anticoagulation management software supplied as an IT software package. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide software that supports anticoagulation management and demonstrate a clear, competitive price, since price was the recorded award criterion. The selected supplier is a large information systems company, suggesting the buyer accepted a supplier with the capacity to deliver a healthcare software package; the procurement does not set out specific accreditation, technical standards or experience requirements. The single-lot structure indicates the software package was bought as one requirement rather than separated into smaller lots. Suppliers specialising in clinical software and able to support healthcare organisations would therefore be relevant when this buyer’s requirement returns to market.
