Digital Health Consultancy

The public procurement process overseen by the East Suffolk and North East Essex Foundation Trust involves a consultancy service related to Digital Health. The contract focuses on supporting the delivery and implementation phases of the Epic electronic patient record (EPR) system, particularly during its build and testing stages. It falls under the health services category and is situated in Colchester, UK, with postal code CO4 5JL.

The procurement method adopted is selective, involving a call-off from a framework agreement, and the process has reached the award stage. The contract is valued at £40,000 and spans from 16th June 2025 to 15th November 2025, with the award being active as of 19th June 2025. This tender provides significant business growth opportunities for firms specialising in digital health consultancy services, particularly those experienced in electronic patient record systems.

Despite the contract already being awarded to ARCA RESOURCING LTD, it highlights the ongoing demand from NHS trusts for specialised consultancy, potentially paving the way for similar future contracts. The substantial budget allocated signifies potential lucrative opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) although, in this instance, the contract does not directly favour SMEs or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSE). Businesses adept in providing strategic consultancy in health service implementations might therefore see valuable prospects in aligning their offerings with NHS requirements.
