## Summary

Mersey and West Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured an annual licence for Refine Software, a pharmacy management system used to monitor and account for drug usage across the Trust. The requirement covers software licensing and related software services rather than physical medicines, equipment or construction. The service supports pharmacy teams and the Trust’s internal control, monitoring and accountability processes for medicines use. Delivery is for the Trust’s operations in Merseyside and West Lancashire, within the United Kingdom. The selected supplier, RX-Info Limited, provides the Refine product. Businesses relevant to this requirement are pharmacy software developers, software licence providers and suppliers able to support implementation, maintenance or associated services for healthcare organisations using drug-use monitoring systems.

This procurement has been completed and awarded through a below-threshold tender route. One lot was awarded to RX-Info Limited, and the award is active. The award date is not recorded; the contract was signed on 25 August 2026. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £16,000 excluding VAT and £19,200 including VAT. The award concerns software package and information systems, together with software-related services. The buying organisation is Mersey and West Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. The procurement used a single lot, with the contract covering the Trust’s annual Refine Software licence for pharmacy drug-usage monitoring and accounting. The published outcome identifies RX-Info Limited as the appointed supplier.

This award demonstrates a defined NHS requirement for pharmacy software that can monitor and account for drug usage, supported by an annual licence and related software services. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a functioning pharmacy or medicines-management platform, with clear controls for recording, monitoring and reconciling drug use. Relevant suppliers are likely to have experience delivering software to NHS trusts or comparable healthcare organisations, supporting pharmacy users and maintaining a dependable service throughout the licence period. Technical capability should include software licensing, customer support, system maintenance and handling operational data securely. The existing award also shows that a specialist small or medium-sized software company can supply this type of Trust-wide requirement through a below-threshold procurement route.
