## Summary

Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust has completed the award stage of a procurement process for the provision of 3M Medicode Encoder software for the 2025/2026 period. This contract, valued at £53,663, was awarded to Insight Direct (UK) Ltd, under a selective procurement method through the NOECPC Total Technology Solutions (NOE.0552) Framework. The contract began on 1st April 2025 and will conclude on 31st March 2026, ensuring critical support for the Trust's clinical coding and patient administrative systems. The project is classified under the IT services industry category, particularly focusing on software-related services. It is based in Nottingham, United Kingdom, with the procurement specifically arranged for large-scale businesses due to its nature and requirement, not targeting SMEs or VCSEs.

This procurement presents notable business growth opportunities for firms within the IT services and software development sectors. While the current contract is aimed at larger enterprises, as evidenced by the award to Insight Direct (UK) Ltd, partnerships and subcontracting could offer avenues for smaller specialised software firms to gain a foothold in a health services environment. Companies capable of providing innovative, reliable healthcare technology solutions that enhance operational efficiencies would be well-suited to engage in such tender processes in the future. Furthermore, the association with a reputable NHS Trust may provide additional credibility and experience to suppliers, potentially opening doors to additional public sector projects.

## Notice

Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (the Trust) requires ongoing access to Medicode clinical coding software to support its patient administrative system. This software plays a critical role in ensuring accurate clinical coding, which is essential for efficient hospital operations, including billing, resource allocation, and quality of care. A failure of the Medicode system could lead to inaccurate coding, which would significantly increase the risk of errors in these critical processes. This could cause delays in reimbursement, impact funding, and hinder the Trust's ability to effectively manage patient care. Inaccurate coding could also compromise data quality, affecting the Trust's ability to monitor performance, identify trends, and make informed decisions. To prevent such scenarios and ensure the continued functionality of the Medicode system, the Trust has awarded a 12 month contract to Insight Direct (UK) Ltd, following a price-based competition conducted through the NOECPC Total Technology Solutions (NOE.0552) Framework.
