NHS GREATER GLASGOW AND CLYDE

This public procurement record has 2 releases in its history.

Summary of the contracting process

In September 2025, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde completed a contract for the GE Viewpoint System Software's support and maintenance services. The procurement process was categorised under health services and was conducted without prior publication of a call for competition, due to the exclusive agreement with the supplier, Health Net Connections Limited. Located in Paisley, UKM82, the NHS entity sought to extend the software's support and maintenance for three additional years, with the contract valued at £238,733. The procurement was finalised in the award stage, with the contract signed on 1st July 2025.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, especially for entities specialising in health technology support and maintenance services. It is particularly suited for large organisations capable of providing niche support and maintenance due to exclusive service agreements, as exemplified by Health Net Connections Limited's involvement. Businesses equipped to handle large-scale software operations or possess exclusive supplier relationships in the healthcare sector will find similar opportunities valuable for expanding their market presence.
