Summary of the contracting process

Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust procured the Trac recruitment system, a software-related service supporting the Trust’s recruitment activity. The requirement is for the system itself rather than a broader recruitment service. The buyer is based in Welwyn Garden City, and the stated delivery location is in Hatfield, Hertfordshire. The system is procured through the G-Cloud 14 framework, indicating a framework call-off rather than a standalone purchase.

The procurement is complete and CIVICA UK LIMITED was selected for the contract. The award was made on 29 June 2026, at a value of £40,000. The contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2028. The stated estimated procurement range was £38,000 to £40,000. The route was a selective framework call-off through G-Cloud 14. The tender deadline was 8 June 2026 at 12:00. No lot breakdown or evaluation criteria are recorded in the procurement details.

This award shows that Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust buys a dedicated recruitment system through a public-sector cloud framework. Suppliers competing for a similar future requirement would need to provide a recruitment platform suited to the Trust’s hiring processes and be capable of delivering it as a G-Cloud framework call-off. The selected supplier was a large company, and the tender was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. That points to a requirement where framework eligibility and the ability to supply and support an established recruitment system matter more than a small, standalone software offering. The purchase is a focused system requirement, rather than a broad IT transformation programme.
