## Summary

NHS England has completed a procurement process for a "SNOMED Subscription" under the industry category of Health services. This contract, classified under CPV code 85100000, is designed for the procurement of a subscription fee to SNOMED International, allowing the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) to distribute SNOMED CT. The procurement process utilised a limited method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, due to the absence of competition for technical reasons. The contract was signed on 14 February 2025 and covers a delivery location in the UKF region.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses involved in health informatics and data management, especially those capable of offering services that leverage SNOMED CT's functionalities. The awarded contract to IHTSDO trading as SNOMED International establishes a precedent for similar future procurements, signalling a potential niche for specialised health service providers. Organisations with expertise in technical health standards and data distribution in the public health sector would be particularly well-suited to compete for similar opportunities.
