## Summary

University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust procured software support and maintenance for its Solus Endoscopy package. This is a specialist healthcare software support service within the broader software packages and information systems category (CPV 48000000). The requirement supports the Trust’s use of the Solus Endoscopy system rather than the supply of general-purpose software. Delivery is associated with Leicester Royal Infirmary, Infirmary Square, Leicester, and the United Kingdom. The buyer is University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust, an NHS organisation serving Leicester and its surrounding area. Businesses relevant to this requirement are providers of technical support, maintenance and service continuity for Solus Endoscopy or closely related clinical software systems used in NHS settings.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made to HD Clinical Limited on 30 July 2026 for £32,775. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 30 July 2027. The tender submission deadline was 30 July 2026 at 12:00. The contract covers services, with the requirement evaluated through the framework call-off route. The awarded supplier is HD Clinical Limited, based in Bishops Stortford, Hertfordshire. The procurement records the requirement as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a clear example of demand from University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust for continuing support and maintenance of the Solus Endoscopy package. A credible future competitor would need the technical capability to maintain this specific clinical software, respond to support requirements and preserve reliable operation for an NHS healthcare service. The relevant route to market is a framework call-off, so suppliers would also need access to an appropriate framework and the ability to compete under its terms. The award to HD Clinical Limited, which is recorded as an SME, indicates that specialist rather than very large-scale corporate capacity can deliver this requirement, despite the procurement’s suitability setting.
