## Summary

The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust procured neonatal software, specifically the Badgernet system, as software-related goods and services for neonatal care. The requirement was delivered for the Trust in the United Kingdom, with the procurement associated with the Trust’s operations in the CM20 1QX postcode area. The buying organisation is The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust, based in Welwyn Garden City, England. The scope was a clinical software solution rather than general IT supply, indicating a requirement connected with managing neonatal services and associated clinical information. The procurement was made through NHS LPP Clinical System Solutions, using an established route for clinical systems procurement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. The Trust used a selective call-off from a framework agreement rather than an open tender. Bids had to be submitted by 9 March 2026 at 12:00 UTC. System C Healthcare Limited was awarded the contract on 1 April 2026 for £59,000 including the published award value. The contract runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029. The procurement was classified as goods, with software-related services also identified in the classification. The published suitability assessment indicates that the opportunity was not suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award was active when recorded.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates demand from an NHS trust for a defined neonatal clinical software system delivered through a healthcare systems framework. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need proven neonatal software, strong understanding of clinical workflows and the ability to support implementation and ongoing use within an NHS environment. Experience supplying integrated clinical systems would be relevant, particularly where the product supports neonatal records and information management. Suppliers would also need access to the appropriate framework route and the organisational capacity expected for a multi-year NHS software arrangement. The stated SME unsuitability suggests that scale, established delivery capability and sector experience are important competitive factors.
