## Summary

The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust is seeking to procure software licenses essential for the integration of Aria with its new electronic patient record (EPR) system. This limited tender, awarded on 8th September 2021, targets the medical software package industry and involves a contract valued at £665,000. With the procurement method classified as "Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition," the successful supplier is Varian Medical Systems UK Ltd., noted for providing exclusive licensing and support for the Aria software, which highlights the absence of alternative suppliers in the market.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for growth in the health services sector, especially for businesses specialising in medical software solutions and related professional services. Companies that offer expertise in software implementation, training resources, and integration with electronic health record systems are well-suited to compete in such tenders. As the Royal Marsden seeks to enhance its workflows and patient record systems, businesses that can deliver innovative solutions will find substantial potential for collaboration and contract awards in this domain.
