Summary of the contracting process

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde bought a community electronic patient record (EPR) system for use in the Glasgow area. The requirement is healthcare software, classified under CPV 48180000, supporting digital health records and related community healthcare operations. It was procured as a direct award through the Clinical Digital Health Solutions (CDHS) for the Integrated Health Economy Framework. The buying organisation is NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, with its procurement function based at Glasgow Royal Infirmary. The requirement was organised as one lot and covered by the World Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement. This is a digital health technology opportunity rather than a general IT services or hardware supply contract, and is most relevant to suppliers of community EPR platforms and associated clinical systems.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a direct award through the CDHS Integrated Health Economy Framework, although the recorded procurement method is an open procedure. The single lot was awarded to EMIS. The contract was signed on 18 September 2026 and is active, with a value of £5,845,234.19. One bid was recorded, submitted electronically by a non-SME supplier from outside the European Union; no bids came from SMEs. The award was made for the complete community EPR system requirement, rather than separate awards for different lots. The available outcome information identifies EMIS as the selected supplier and records the contract value and signature date; no separate contract end date or evaluation weighting is stated.

This award demonstrates substantial NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde demand for a community electronic patient record platform, at enterprise scale and through a specialist health technology framework. A future competitor would need a mature EPR product suitable for community healthcare, with the resilience, security, interoperability and clinical usability expected in an NHS setting. Credibility would also depend on demonstrating successful implementation and support of comparable systems, the capacity to deliver across a large health organisation, and the ability to work within a structured public-sector framework route. The single recorded bid came from a large supplier, indicating that scale and established delivery capability were important in this procurement. Suppliers targeting similar work should therefore develop strong NHS references and framework access.
