CPV 48814300

Theatre management system

A theatre management system is the software that runs a hospital's operating theatres: scheduling the surgical lists, tracking which patient is in which room, recording anaesthesia and case data, and tying the equipment in an integrated operating room together. Under CPV code 48814300, a contracting authority is procuring that clinical software layer, often bundled with the integration work that connects it to the wider hospital information system.

It sits one level under Medical information systems (48814000), alongside the nursing, patient-administration, clinical-information and casemix siblings. This code is the operating-theatre slice of that family: the surgical-suite and anaesthesia workflow, not the ward, the records department, or the general clinical record.

The work has real but modest scale: 27 awards carry this code (TED 2010-2024), and across the 19 awards with disclosed values the mean runs high, about 2.4 million EUR. Italy, the United Kingdom and France place the most. The high mean reflects what these contracts usually are: not a shrink-wrapped licence, but a system plus the cabling, interfacing and integration to make an operating suite work as one.

Public search interest in the bare term stays low, which fits a niche clinical-systems code. Authorities reach it through the medical information systems parent or an existing hospital IT framework rather than searching for it directly.

When to use this code

For buyers contracting authority

Pick 48814300 when the contract is for the operating-theatre software and the integration around it: surgical scheduling, anaesthesia records, and the workflow that drives an integrated operating room. The line that trips contracting authorities is the parent. Medical information systems (48814000) is the right code for a broad clinical-systems procurement, while 48814300 is scoped to the theatre slice of it.

The siblings draw the other boundaries. Patient-administration system (48814200) handles admissions and bed management rather than the surgical suite, and Clinical information system (48814400) is the general clinical record across the hospital. Reserve 48814300 for the operating theatre specifically.

Where a single contract bundles the theatre system with operating-room hardware and cabling, set the primary CPV code by the dominant deliverable. If the surgical management system is the main purchase, this code fits even when the integration and equipment carry much of the value.

For suppliers bidding

Winners here are clinical-software suppliers and hospital-systems integrators who can deliver the surgical and anaesthesia workflow and wire it into the existing hospital information system, not generic application houses. If you bid, your case rests on live references in comparable operating suites, clinical-safety and interoperability credentials, and a credible interfacing plan against the authority's installed estate. Theatre software touches patient safety, so demonstrable integration with anaesthesia devices and the patient record carries weight that headline price does not.

The recurring pattern worth naming: these are integration-heavy contracts, and the high mean across the 19 awards with disclosed values (TED 2010-2024) reflects software bundled with operating-room cabling and equipment rather than a standalone licence. A bid that treats the system as a standalone licence and underplays the interfacing usually loses to one that owns the whole suite.

Expect competition from suppliers active under the parent (48814000) and the clinical-information sibling (48814400), who bolt a theatre line onto a full hospital-systems bid. With 27 awards on record (TED 2010-2024) at a high mean across the 19 with disclosed values, concentrated in Italy, the United Kingdom and France, the work clusters around hospitals modernising their surgical suites rather than recurring on a fixed cycle.
