Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) is seeking to licence the Cera Care Limited recruitment platform for a duration of six months, aimed at facilitating the rapid recruitment and vetting of new social care workers during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. This public procurement involves a total value of £754,524 and falls under the category of IT services, specifically consulting, software development, and support. The contract period commenced on 6th April 2020 and will conclude on 31st October 2020. The procurement process was conducted using a limited methodology, specifically through a negotiated procedure without prior publication, highlighting the urgent need for these services amidst the health crisis in the United Kingdom, particularly in London.

This opportunity presents significant potential for businesses in the IT services sector, particularly those specialising in recruitment platforms and social care solutions. Companies that have experience in providing technological support to the health and social care industries, as well as those capable of adapting their services to meet urgent public sector needs, would be well-positioned to compete in similar future tenders. The ongoing demand for robust recruitment solutions during crises such as Covid-19 creates a viable landscape for growth and collaboration with public bodies.
