## Summary

The procurement process initiated by the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is currently in the planning stage and involves a selective procurement method intended for awarding contracts under a framework. The process is centred around a contract for a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) to replace or renew existing systems, with a focus on utilising the LPP Clinical Digital Health Solutions framework, specifically the Pathology System Solutions sub-lot. This opportunity is marked under the Goods category and falls within the industry classifications of software packages, medical information systems, and IT services, amongst others. The region of implementation is the United Kingdom, with the contract period planned from 1st April 2028 to 31st March 2038.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in software development, IT consulting, or digital health solutions, particularly those with expertise in medical information systems and laboratory information management. Given the significant contract value of £6,000,000 gross (£5,000,000 net), the opportunity is fitting for firms capable of delivering high-quality, scalable solutions within the outlined framework. Contractors with a successful track record in similar public sector engagements, and those equipped to support the transition and integration of digital health solutions, would be well-positioned to compete in this selective process.
