## Summary

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is initiating a public procurement process for IT Services Provisioning, aimed at enhancing digital capabilities to support new facilities, including the Cambridge Cancer Research Hospital (CCRH) and Cambridge Children's Hospital (CCH). The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with a preliminary market engagement notice launched in March 2025. Key dates include a supplier webinar on March 12, 2025, and a submission deadline for feedback on March 21, 2025. This process is located in Cambridge, UK, within the services category, and aims to ensure the sustainability, scalability, and compliance of digital services across the Trust's operations.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, with the contract period expected to run from November 2026 to November 2031. By engaging in this procurement process, IT companies can contribute to shaping the future digital infrastructure of CUH, promoting their services as part of a key public health initiative, and potentially securing a long-term partnership with one of the UK's prominent healthcare providers.

## Notice

Cambridge University Hospitals (CUH) is committed to leveraging technology to enhance patient care, drive operational efficiency, and ensure compliance with NHS and regulatory standards. Digital capabilities will be a key enabler for the Trust's two new hospitals, the Cambridge Cancer Research Hospital (CCRH) and Cambridge Children's Hospital (CCH). As part of its digital transformation, CUH is reviewing its long-term technology and application strategy to ensure its digital services remain sustainable, scalable, and aligned with evolving healthcare and organisational needs. To support this, the Trust is conducting Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) to evaluate its future approach to IT services and digital infrastructure, ensuring value for money, operational resilience, and future growth. The objective of the PME is to engage the market to help shape the procurement in alignment with the market capabilities, provide perspectives on CUH proposed target states (e.g., bundling of services) and collecting deeper knowledge of innovative solutions. Interested suppliers should contact cuh.tenders1@nhs.net in order to receive a copy of the Request for Further Information and further instructions on participating in this Preliminary Market Engagement.
