Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust bought a recruitment management system with the capability to carry out electronic Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks. The system is intended to help the Trust manage recruitment efficiently and meet NHS England’s growing workforce reporting requirements. This is a software supply requirement, rather than a general recruitment or staffing service. Delivery is for the Trust in Bradford, West Yorkshire. The requirement combines recruitment administration with electronic criminal-record checking, so its scope centres on a digital platform and DBS-check functionality for the Trust’s workforce recruitment processes.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to CIVICA UK LIMITED on 1 October 2026. The award value is £215,734.01. The contract period runs from 26 September 2026 to 25 July 2029. The Trust used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The stated procurement value was also £215,734.01. The opportunity was classified as goods, with software as its principal subject. No separate lots are described. The procurement record does not set out evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements; the award outcome confirms CIVICA UK LIMITED was selected. The contract concerns recruitment software and electronic DBS checks for Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, rather than a broader NHS-wide service.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement at Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust for recruitment software that also supports electronic DBS checks and workforce reporting. A credible competitor when this requirement next comes to market would need to show that its platform can support end-to-end recruitment administration, integrate or provide electronic DBS checking, and help the Trust meet NHS England reporting demands. Suppliers should be able to evidence suitability for a hospital workforce environment and the operational capacity to implement and support a system for the Trust’s recruitment processes. The purchase was made through a framework call-off, so experience of supplying through relevant frameworks and meeting their competition requirements would also be commercially pertinent. The procurement was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.
