## Summary

University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust procured a point-of-care clinical decision support system for use in clinical environments. The requirement is a software service that supports clinical decision-making at the point where care is delivered. It falls within software packages and information systems, with the main procurement category being services. Delivery is associated with Leicester, at Leicester Royal Infirmary, and the wider United Kingdom. The buyer is University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust. This is therefore relevant to suppliers of clinical decision-support platforms, healthcare information systems and associated software services, particularly those able to support use across NHS clinical environments and provide a system suitable for point-of-care delivery.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to UpToDate, Inc. on 30 September 2022. It used a selective call-off from a framework agreement, with submissions due by 30 September 2022 at 12:00. The estimated procurement value was £488,263. The awarded value was £732,395. The award is active and covers a contract period from 1 October 2022 to 30 September 2027. The contract was evaluated through the framework call-off process. The requirement was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The selected supplier is UpToDate, Inc., a large organisation based in Waltham, Massachusetts.

This award demonstrates established NHS demand for a clinical decision-support software service used at the point of care, delivered through a framework call-off rather than a standalone open tender. A credible competitor for this buyer would need a mature clinical information product that healthcare professionals can use in operational clinical environments, with dependable software delivery and the capacity to support an NHS Trust throughout a multi-year service. The successful supplier was a large organisation, indicating that scale and organisational capacity were relevant to this requirement. Suppliers should also be able to operate within framework-based purchasing routes and show that their platform is sufficiently established for clinical use, rather than offering general-purpose software without a healthcare decision-support capability.
