## Summary

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured a yearly subscription to Stemsoft LAB software, a software package and information system used by the Trust. The requirement is for software access rather than installation, construction or wider IT services. Delivery is in Cambridge, within the Trust’s operations in England. The procurement covers one requirement and one supplier award. The selected provider, STEMSOFT Software Inc. (STEMCELL Technologies), is a large Canadian software company. Businesses relevant to this requirement are software vendors or authorised providers able to supply and support laboratory software subscriptions for an NHS hospital environment.

The procurement has been completed and awarded under a below-threshold procedure. The contract was signed on 16 September 2026 and awarded on 17 September 2026 to STEMSOFT Software Inc. (STEMCELL Technologies). The active contract runs from 17 September 2026 to 16 September 2027. Its value is £22,664.36 excluding VAT, or £27,197.23 including VAT. The award covers the complete yearly Stemsoft LAB software subscription requirement. Evaluation resulted in a single active award, with the contract managed by Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. The process used one lot, which is now complete, and the contract is below the applicable threshold.

This award demonstrates a defined NHS requirement for specialist laboratory software delivered through a recurring annual subscription. Suppliers positioned for comparable work would need a mature laboratory information or laboratory operations software product, the ability to provide reliable subscription access, and a support model suitable for a hospital environment. Credibility would be strengthened by evidence of successful use in clinical, laboratory or other regulated settings, dependable service continuity, data protection and information security controls, and the capacity to meet NHS procurement and contractual requirements. Providers competing when this requirement returns would also benefit from experience supporting UK public-sector customers and from being able to demonstrate product capability, implementation knowledge and responsive technical support.
