## Summary

The University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust has completed a procurement process to upgrade its current Quality Management System, transitioning to a Software as a Service (SaaS) agreement due to the impending end of support for its on-premise solution. This procurement process, which falls under the 'goods' category and directly awarded below the threshold without competition, culminated in a pending award to IDEAGEN GAEL LIMITED. The contract, valued at £57,730.47 excluding VAT, begins on 1st March 2026 and extends through 28th February 2027, covering various regions in the United Kingdom, including Bristol. The transfer aligns with legal protocols under the UKPGA scheme as outlined by legislation from 2023.

This procurement provides significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in medical software packages, particularly those capable of delivering scalable SaaS solutions. IDEAGEN GAEL LIMITED, a large-scale enterprise, emerged as the supplier, showcasing its capability to meet the complex needs of healthcare institutions moving towards digital transformation. Companies with similar expertise in healthcare IT solutions can leverage such opportunities by demonstrating technical proficiency and product scalability, tapping into the healthcare sector’s increasing shift towards technology-enabled operational enhancements.

## Notice

The Trust would like to upgrade the current Quality Management System, which has been used across several departments within D&T division, as a SaaS contract because the support and maintenance of the current on-premise will be unsupported soon.
