## Summary

The Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust is initiating a procurement process for an "ePrescribing System" inclusive of associated hardware, aimed at enhancing medical service delivery across the Kent & Medway region. Classified under the clinical information systems category (CPV: 48814400), this procurement is in the planning stage with a focus on pre-market engagement. The Trust is addressing the potential costs and timeframe for supporting 200-300 users within Kent. Expressions of interest for this pre-market phase should be submitted by 31 December 2025, as the Trust plans for future key dates, including the publication of further notices by 1 February 2026 and contract commencement by 1 July 2026. This process, held under a competitive flexible procedure, is set to cover broad UK regions, offering businesses an opportunity to engage with a central government public authority.

This tender presents significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for suppliers capable of delivering comprehensive clinical information systems. Firms specialising in healthcare IT solutions, especially those with a track record of system implementation, are well-positioned to compete. The procurement process is structured to welcome SMEs, emphasising the procurement’s inclusivity. Companies experienced in such deployments are encouraged to join the preliminary economic dialogue to align with the Trust’s needs and demonstrate innovative solutions. This initiative not only supports technological advancement in the healthcare sector but also offers a long-term partnership opportunity due to its planned renewal option, ultimately fostering continuous business expansion over the potential 11-year contract period.
