Summary of the contracting process

NHS Grampian, located in Aberdeen, has concluded the procurement process for the "APEX System Renewal" project. This initiative is classified under the health industry category and entails maintenance and hardware for the existing laboratory system at the Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. The procurement method used was a direct award without prior publication of a call for competition, justified by technical reasons pertaining to the unique expertise of the current supplier, SoftwareONE UK Ltd. The contract, valued at £51,132, was signed on 24th September 2024, with the award officially listed on the same date.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses, especially those specialising in healthcare IT solutions and maintenance services. Companies that have previously worked with NHS or other public health organisations would find such direct award projects attractive due to the specialised knowledge required. While this particular agreement favours SoftwareONE UK Ltd due to their existing involvement and technical proficiency with the APEX system, firms with innovative, highly technical solutions may secure future contracts with similar requirements if they can demonstrate comparable expertise and capabilities.
