## Summary

University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust procured a business analyst service through a managed service arrangement. The work covers understanding and mapping the functionality of each Patient Engagement Platform and other patient-facing system in use across the Trust, identifying gaps between current capabilities and requirements, and gathering requirements for new system or systems. This is a specialist digital, health-technology and business-analysis service rather than a general temporary staffing requirement, although it is classified under personnel supply services (CPV 79620000). Delivery is centred on University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust in Leicester, at Leicester Royal Infirmary, Infirmary Square. The requirement sits within NHS patient engagement and patient-facing digital systems, so relevant suppliers need to understand both service-user needs and the operational environment of a healthcare provider.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to Apira Limited on 13 July 2026 for £58,200 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 14 July 2026 to 5 October 2026. The tender submission deadline was 13 July 2026 at 12:00. The selected supplier is a single SME, and the award is active. The procurement was for services and the stated suitability assessment marked it as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The available process information identifies the framework call-off route, but does not set out separate lots or a detailed award-scoring breakdown. This is an awarded outcome, rather than an opportunity to submit a bid.

This procurement indicates demand for suppliers able to provide experienced business analysts for NHS digital transformation, particularly where several patient engagement and patient-facing platforms must be assessed together. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to map existing system functionality clearly, compare capability against clinical, operational and user needs, identify practical gaps, and turn stakeholder input into structured requirements for replacement or additional systems. Useful capability would include business-process analysis, requirements elicitation, systems and service mapping, gap analysis, and communication with healthcare stakeholders. Suppliers should be able to work across a complex NHS environment and produce evidence-led outputs that support technology decisions. The requirement was marked unsuitable for SMEs and VCSEs, suggesting the buyer expects substantial organisational capacity and specialist delivery capability.
