Summary of the contracting process

Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust procured digital identity verification and document validation services to support compliant right to work checks and Disclosure and Barring Service identity validation. The requirement is classified as recruitment services and falls within the wider category of professional services supporting recruitment compliance. Delivery is associated with the Trust’s operations in Hull, England. The service is relevant to providers of identity-checking platforms, digital document verification, employment screening and related compliance technology. It is a service requirement rather than a supply of physical goods or construction work, and is intended to support the Trust’s recruitment and workforce onboarding processes.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Civica Limited on 17 July 2026. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 3 August 2026 at 23:59, and the contract runs from 4 August 2026 to 3 August 2028. The awarded value is £9,700. The procurement was estimated at between £9,700 and £11,640. Civica Limited is the selected supplier for the full requirement. The published classification identifies recruitment services, while the procurement category is services. The Trust indicated that the opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

For competitors, this award provides a clear example of demand from an NHS foundation trust for digital identity and document-validation capability tied to recruitment compliance. A credible future supplier would need technology that can verify identity digitally, validate supporting documents and support right to work checks and DBS identity validation in a dependable operational service. Experience of recruitment, workforce onboarding or regulated public-sector environments would help demonstrate relevance. Suppliers should also be able to deliver through a framework call-off route and support the needs of an NHS organisation. The stated SME suitability indicates that smaller specialist technology or screening providers may be well placed, either independently or through an appropriate framework position.
