## Summary

Bolton NHS Foundation Trust intends to procure a baby tagging system for use in its NHS services. The requirement covers implementation of the system, ongoing support and maintenance, and consumables. It combines security and surveillance equipment and tags with software and clinical information systems, including data security software services. The stated delivery location is the United Kingdom. This is a service-led procurement that also includes goods, aimed at suppliers able to provide an integrated system rather than tags alone. The system is intended for baby tagging; the planned scope includes putting it into service and supporting its continued operation.

The procurement is at the planning stage: Bolton NHS Foundation Trust has stated its intention to buy, but has not issued an invitation to tender. It expects to use an open procedure. The estimated value is £240,000. The buyer expects to publish the next notice on 16 November 2026; this is an indicative publication date, not a bid deadline. It plans to take enquiries until 27 November 2026, with bids due by 11 December 2026 at noon and an award decision expected by 11 January 2027. The contract is planned to run from 1 October 2027 to 30 September 2029, with an extension option potentially taking it to 30 September 2031. There is one lot. Evaluation is weighted 70% technical response, 20% commercial schedule and 10% social value.

This requirement is suited to suppliers able to deliver an end-to-end baby tagging system for an NHS trust, including the equipment and tags, software and clinical information-system components, implementation, ongoing maintenance and support, and consumables. Small and medium-sized businesses are identified as suitable, so suppliers need not assume the work is reserved for large organisations. The evaluation places most weight on the technical response, making the system’s fit and the supplier’s ability to implement and sustain it central to a future competition; price and social value also contribute. Suppliers with experience integrating security technology and clinical systems, providing reliable continuing support and supplying consumables would be well placed to prepare. The trust has not stated specific accreditations or minimum capacity requirements at this planning stage. Prepare for a single-lot requirement.
