## Summary

The Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust has extended the National Framework Agreement for Total Inventory Management Systems until 23 August 2026. This project, valued at £50 million, falls under the software package and information systems category, with the procurement being conducted through an open procedure. The framework's scope and duration have been extended periodically to enhance inventory management across the United Kingdom. As of the latest update in April 2025, the procurement is awarded and active, continuing to support the Trust's operational efficiencies in inventory management.

This framework presents significant opportunities for both SMEs and larger enterprises that specialise in inventory management systems and related software solutions. By participating in this framework, businesses can engage with a major NHS Trust, potentially enhancing their portfolio and expanding their influence within public sector procurement. Suitable businesses include those experienced in developing scalable software solutions for hospital and healthcare environments, and organisations capable of enhancing inventory processes and efficiencies at a national level.
