## Summary

The Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process for an Electronic Prescribing Medicines Administration (EPMA) system. This initiative is to engage the market and evaluate available solutions in delivering EPMA services. The Trust is located at Wayside House, Wilsons Lane, Coventry, UK. Engagement activities include surveys and Q&A sessions to be conducted via Microsoft Teams. Expressions of interest must be submitted by 31st November 2026, with a comprehensive registration pack being issued thereafter. The Trust plans to publish the formal procurement tenders following the completion of these engagement activities, which span multiple regions across the United Kingdom including the Midlands, North East, and London.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the field of application service provision, particularly those specialising in healthcare IT systems, to collaborate with a public authority in central government. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) will find this an advantageous prospect as the contract suitability includes their participation. The engagement process aims to identify capable providers that can support the Trust's objectives to enhance their prescribing and medicines administration. Businesses offering innovative, scalable, and technically sophisticated EPMA solutions will be well-positioned to compete and potentially expand their market reach through this public sector partnership.

## Notice

CWPT is seeking to engage with the market to understand what EPMA systems and supporting solutions are available, and how these solutions work in their nature. We intend to conduct pre-market engagement via a variety of surveys, assessments, specification, knowledge sessions etc over the coming three to six months ahead of formal procurement tender notices being published. The market engagement phase is a non-scored element of the process, and it is solely for the purpose of developing understanding of the market prior to commencing the procurement.

### Planning Information

Expressions of interest to be directed to the email address procurement.finance@covwarkpt.nhs.uk
Expressions must be received before the 31st November 2026 at the latest.
Organisations will then get a registration pack which will detail all requirements and processes in full.
For the purposes of this notice all suppliers that have expressed an interest will receive the first stage survey and a request to provide their technical specification of their solutions. There will be a Q&A session per supplier.
All suppliers that wish to participate in the subsequent procurement process must have completed the the first stage survey and provided their technical specification of their solutions.
CWPT reserve the right to amend the engagement process and will inform expressions of interest if it chooses to do so.
The engagement sessions will be held via Teams.
