Alcidion has been named the preferred supplier for University Hospitals Sussex's new Electronic Patient Record system, with a contract expected to exceed A$35 million over seven years.

  • Preferred supplier for University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust
  • Contract value anticipated to exceed A$35 million over at least seven years
  • Deployment of Miya Precision platform targeted for Q4 FY26
  • Existing relationship through Patientrack solution at the Trust
  • Supports integration and improved clinical decision-making

Alcidion Wins Preferred Supplier Status

Alcidion Group Limited has been selected as the preferred supplier for the University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust’s new Electronic Patient Record (EPR) system. This follows a competitive tender process and represents a major contract win for the Australian healthcare IT company. The contract value is expected to exceed A$35 million over a minimum seven-year period, signalling a substantial revenue stream for Alcidion.

Building on an Established Partnership

The Trust, one of the largest acute healthcare providers in the UK, already uses Alcidion’s Patientrack solution for observations and assessments. The new EPR system will be based on Alcidion’s flagship Miya Precision platform, which promises to deliver real-time access to patient records, streamline patient flow, and enhance clinical decision-making. This continuity underscores the Trust’s confidence in Alcidion’s technology and its ability to support complex healthcare environments.

Strategic Importance and Deployment Timeline

University Hospitals Sussex serves around one million people and manages over 1.5 million outpatient appointments, emergency visits, and surgeries annually. The move to a single integrated digital platform aligns with the Trust’s goals to improve patient care, support regional healthcare integration, and drive operational efficiencies. Alcidion aims to commence deployment of the Miya Precision system in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026, pending final contract negotiations.

Implications for Alcidion and the Healthcare IT Market

This contract win not only strengthens Alcidion’s foothold in the UK but also highlights the growing demand for sophisticated digital health solutions within the NHS. With over 400 hospitals and 87 healthcare organisations already using its products across several countries, Alcidion is well-positioned to capitalise on the global shift towards integrated healthcare IT platforms. Managing the deployment successfully will be critical to maintaining momentum and securing future contracts.

Bottom Line?

Alcidion’s preferred supplier status at University Hospitals Sussex sets the stage for a pivotal expansion in UK healthcare IT.
