## Summary

Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust procured professional clinical safety support for its Electronic Patient Record (EPR) platform. The work involved undertaking a clinical safety review of the Trust’s EPR system, combining healthcare safety expertise with information technology consulting and support services. The buying organisation is Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust, with procurement support from United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. Delivery covered Lincolnshire and the wider East Midlands area. This is a specialist healthcare technology services requirement rather than a supply of equipment, software licensing or general IT support. It is relevant to providers that review the clinical safety of digital health systems and EPR platforms.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. Apira Ltd was selected as the supplier for the single lot. The award was made on 4 September 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 7 September 2026 to 30 November 2026. Its value is £15,000 excluding VAT, or £18,000 including VAT. The requirement was evaluated and awarded as a professional services contract for clinical safety review of the Trust’s EPR platform. The contracting process has reached the award and active-contract stage, so this procurement is an outcome rather than an opportunity to submit a bid.

This procurement shows demand from an NHS Trust for specialist assurance of an Electronic Patient Record platform. A credible future supplier would need demonstrable capability in clinical safety review for digital healthcare systems, alongside strong understanding of EPR technology, IT consulting and support. Relevant firms are likely to combine clinical, technical and information-governance knowledge so they can identify risks in a live healthcare platform and provide clear, defensible review findings. Apira Ltd, identified as an SME, was selected for this requirement, indicating that a smaller specialist consultancy can meet the buyer’s needs. Suppliers building a competing proposition should focus on evidence of comparable NHS or healthcare digital safety work and the ability to deliver a focused professional review.
