Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Grampian, headquartered at Summerfield House in Aberdeen, recently completed the procurement process for the "Radiology Information System Program". This contract pertains to the health sector and was awarded on 28th May 2025. The procurement aimed at enhancing radiology patient management services at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. The process employed a limited procurement method, bypassing the usual call for competition due to technical reasons tied to Framework 2016/S 086-152288. Soliton IT Ltd, a small to medium-sized enterprise located in Felden, was the successful supplier, receiving a contract valued at £986,599.24, signed on 26th February 2025. The award was made through a direct call-off, considering it as a partial replacement of existing supplies by the original supplier.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare IT solutions, particularly those experienced in radiology systems. The contract highlights the demand for specialised technological solutions in the health sector, presenting substantial opportunities for SMEs within the UK region to leverage existing frameworks for similar projects. Businesses with expertise in delivering comprehensive patient appointment systems, electronic referral solutions, and radiological data management systems should consider aligning their services with NHS needs to maximise potential future engagements. The direct award method employed underscores the importance of establishing robust partnerships with public sector entities to secure such opportunities.
