## Summary

University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust procured quality management system services for system quality assurance planning, under the title Quality Management System (QMS). The requirement is a services contract supporting the Trust’s quality management arrangements and assurance planning. Delivery is associated with the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust in Leicester, at Leicester Royal Infirmary, Infirmary Square. The named buyer is the Trust, which uses the service within its NHS healthcare organisation. This is a specialist quality and management systems opportunity rather than a general IT implementation or routine administrative support requirement. The relevant CPV classification is 72224200 for system quality assurance planning services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 7 December 2023 at 12:00 UTC, and the contract period runs from 8 December 2023 to 7 December 2026. The original estimated value was £145,855. The contract was awarded on 7 September 2026 to Ideagen Gael Ltd, with an awarded value of £196,201.40. The award is active and covers the same contract period. The evaluation basis is reflected in the framework call-off route rather than a separately stated criterion. The opportunity was identified as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award demonstrates demand from a major NHS trust for specialist quality management system and system quality assurance planning services. Competitors seeking similar work would need a credible ability to design, plan, support and maintain quality assurance arrangements in a complex healthcare setting, with sufficient capacity to deliver across a multi-year service period. Experience of working with NHS organisations, regulated environments, formal governance and evidence-based quality processes would strengthen a supplier’s position, although the procurement does not state specific accreditations. The selected supplier was an SME, showing that a specialist firm can meet the requirement where it has the relevant quality management expertise, delivery capability and access to the appropriate framework route.
