## Summary

The University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust is initiating a procurement process for an IT Outsourced Service, aimed at providing high-performing digital infrastructure for the Leicestershire and Northamptonshire Hospital Group. This process is currently in the planning stage, with a focus on technology services, and is using a selective procurement method via an award under the framework. Key dates include a pre-market engagement deadline set for 31st July 2026, with contract commencement anticipated on 1st February 2028. The procurement effort is set to support the organisation’s long-term digital transformation goals across various regions in the United Kingdom, including UKF, UKC, and others, with the planning and development spearheaded from Leicester.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those with a history of delivering large-scale, integrated digital solutions within the public health sector. Companies already participating in the Government Commercial Agency's RM6190 Technology Services 4 Framework are in a prime position to engage in early discussions and secure a foothold in this substantial contract, valued at £135 million. Firms offering comprehensive IT solutions, including software, hardware, infrastructure, support services, and cybersecurity, that can demonstrate operational scale and innovation in patient-centric services, are well-suited to compete effectively in this procurement process.
