## Summary

Homerton University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust bought CardMedic, a patient communication and translation tool. The product is intended to help the hospital communicate with patients, including through translation. The procurement is categorised as goods and covers a foreign-language translation software package. The named buyer is the Trust, based in London. The supplier, Card Medic Limited, is based in Oxford. The requirement concerns the provision of the communication tool rather than a wider package of clinical or translation services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly to Card Medic Limited, without competition, under a below-threshold procedure. The contract was signed on 15 October 2026 and runs from that date to 30 June 2028. Its value is £35,200 excluding VAT (£42,240 including VAT). The award is active and relates to a single lot for the patient communication and translation aid. The published details identify the selected supplier and the contract period, but provide no further evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements.

For suppliers assessing future demand from Homerton University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, this award shows a specific requirement for a patient-facing communication and translation tool, rather than general translation provision. A credible competitor would need a product that supports communication between hospital staff and patients and can provide language translation. The selected supplier’s award is evidence that a specialist software product can meet this requirement through a direct, below-threshold route. Suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate the tool’s relevance to patient communication and its practical fit in a hospital setting. The procurement information does not establish particular technical standards, integrations, accreditations or service levels, so no such capabilities can be inferred as award requirements.
