Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Health and Social Care procured IT hosting services for legacy NHS records. The requirement covers approximately 92 TB of data, hosted with search functionality and access for two to five staff. The service is delivered for the Department in London. This is a focused records-hosting requirement, rather than a general NHS records digitisation or transformation project.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Phoenix Software Limited on 24 September 2026. The award value is £396,000. The contract runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 March 2028. The Department used a selective process to make a call-off from a framework agreement. The requirement was treated as a services contract, with small and medium-sized businesses considered suitable to participate and voluntary, community and social enterprises not considered suitable. The published procurement information does not state separate lots or evaluation criteria.

For suppliers competing for a similar Department of Health and Social Care requirement, this award shows demand for secure, dependable hosting of a substantial legacy NHS records collection, with search access for a small group of users. Credible providers would need to demonstrate the capacity to host around 92 TB of data and provide effective search functionality, alongside reliable ongoing service support. Experience with sensitive health or public-sector records would be relevant to establishing confidence in service continuity, access controls and responsible data handling. The buyer used a framework call-off route, so suppliers seeking comparable work should be positioned to compete through the relevant framework arrangements. The stated suitability for SMEs indicates that this scale of requirement need not be beyond smaller specialist providers.
