Opportunity overview

"This procurement is for the Digital Wayfinding smart service supporting the new Moorfields and UCL Centre for Eye Health at St Pancras, part of the wider Oriel Programme. The Authority will appoint a single supplier to deliver a compliant, accessible digital wayfinding platform enabling patients, visitors, staff and students to navigate the building confidently and independently, expressed as outputs across five areas: search, routing and map display; user interface and access channels; accessibility and inclusive navigation; Smart Services integration and data; and operational adoption and governance. Core functional requirements include interactive digital building maps, destination search and point-to-point routing, multi-floor and step-free navigation, mobile-web access without app download, and QR-code access points at key locations across the building. The solution must integrate with the Patient Self-Service Check-In kiosk for post-check-in route generation, and with the Indoor Location Services (RTLS) infrastructure where available, while functioning fully where RTLS positioning is unavailable or immature at Day-1. Given the high proportion of visually impaired patients served by Moorfields, accessibility is a primary requirement throughout, including audio navigation, and step-free routing validated with representative visually impaired users ahead of go-live. The contract is being procured via a Competitive Flexible Procedure under section 20(2)(b) of the Procurement Act 2023, run in two stages. The initial term is two years, with two further one-year extension options available at the Authority's discretion. Award will be on the basis of the most advantageous tender, evaluated 60% quality, 10% social value and 30% price."

Description
The Authority conducted soft market engagement through a series of structured one-to-one supplier briefing sessions held during the period March to July 2026. Suppliers were identified through desk research and the Authority's knowledge of the digital wayfinding market. Each session followed a standard 60-minute agenda covering: (1) Moorfields and UCL Centre for Eye Health context and Day-1 scope; (2) supplier capability overview; (3) requirement walkthrough; (4) technical and operational discussion; and (5) market insight and risks. Suppliers were provided with a Supplier Briefing Pack. Sessions were conducted on a confidential basis. There was no obligation on suppliers to participate and no commitment was made to any supplier as a result of the engagement. Supplier input was used to validate Day-1 feasibility, shape integration requirements, and refine the Output Based Specification before procurement. No expressions of interest were sought and no shortlisting took place during the engagement.
