Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Blood and Transplant procured specialist digital, data and technology services for the development, operation and optimisation of its NHSBT Data Platform and associated data capabilities. The requirement covers IT consulting, software development, internet and support services, within the wider category of professional digital and data services. Delivery is associated with NHS Blood and Transplant’s site at North Bristol Park, Bristol, and the wider United Kingdom. This is a technology services requirement rather than a supply of hardware or construction works. It is relevant to businesses providing data-platform expertise, digital delivery, technology operations, software development, technical support or related consultancy to public-sector organisations.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 16 July 2026 at 12:00. NHS Blood and Transplant awarded the contract to Telefonica Tech UK Managed Services Limited on 31 July 2026. The awarded value is £1,200,000. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award covers the single stated requirement for DDaT data services; the available information does not set out separate lots or an award-scoring breakdown.

This award demonstrates a substantial, multi-year requirement from NHS Blood and Transplant for specialist support across a live data platform and related capabilities. Competitors seeking similar work should be able to combine data-platform development with reliable operational support, optimisation and software or digital engineering. The requirement suits suppliers that can provide integrated consulting and delivery teams, maintain and improve technology in an NHS environment, and support associated data services rather than delivering a one-off system. The procurement was marked as suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller specialist businesses may be credible participants, either independently or through an appropriate framework route. Relevant experience should cover complex public-sector data and technology services.
