## Summary

East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust has procured clinical coding software to support the creation of coded clinical data. The 3M Medicode system prompts users to search for appropriate codes, flags opportunities to improve coding efficiency and accuracy, and prompts users in real time to consider additional information for the current episode of care. This is a healthcare software service for use in clinical coding workflows, helping users code care episodes more quickly and accurately. The contracting process identifies the delivery address as Saint Leonards-on-Sea, East Sussex.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to KCI Medical Limited, trading as Solventum UK. The award was made on 25 September 2026, with an awarded value of £768,496. The contract runs from 24 September 2026 to 31 March 2031. The Trust used a selective procedure to call off the requirement from the Crown Commercial Service G-Cloud 15 framework. The tender period ended on 23 September 2026. The procurement was classified as a services contract, and the stated suitability assessment did not identify it as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. No evaluation criteria are recorded in the process information.

This award shows East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust’s demand for clinical coding software that integrates prompts into users’ workflows, supports accurate and efficient code selection, and can flag relevant additional clinical information in real time. The selected supplier was a large business, and the requirement was assessed as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating a procurement structured for a supplier able to support a substantial, sustained healthcare software service. The route was a call-off from a government cloud software framework, so suppliers seeking to compete when this requirement next reaches the market would need relevant clinical coding software and the capacity to deliver through an equivalent framework route.
