## Summary

The procurement contract titled "Electronic Controlled Drugs System" has been awarded by the West Midlands Ambulance Service University NHS FT, a regional authority focused on healthcare services. This contract, completed in April 2026, falls under the industry category of software package and information systems, aiming to manage the movement of drugs within the Trust using a comprehensive COT system. The procurement process was executed through a limited procedure, bypassing a call for competition due to the urgency of implementation. The contract, valued at £191,680, involves delivery across multiple regions in the UK, including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare information systems, especially SMEs that can swiftly deliver effective software solutions. With the procurement method tailored for urgent requirements, companies with ready-made, adaptable solutions for healthcare logistics stand a favourable chance of success. Ortivus UK LTD, a Southampton-based SME, has successfully secured the contract, illustrating an opportunity for similar companies to gain significant market presence in the healthcare IT sector. Businesses with expertise in developing or providing tech-driven solutions for controlled substances management, especially those familiar with NHS processes or regional healthcare needs, would be particularly well-positioned to compete in similar tenders.
