Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, titled "Legacy Records Storage 2025/26 - Crown," involves NHS England as the buying organisation, located in London, United Kingdom. This contract, under the industry category of records management with additional classification in health services, addresses the need for third-party secure archive storage for inherited legacy records for the fiscal year 2024/2025. The procurement utilised a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement under the ESPO Framework Lot 2. The award stage of the procurement was completed with the contract commencing on 1st October 2025 and concluding on 31st March 2026—a timeframe that was articulated within the tender period ending on 29th September 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in secure archive and records management, and those with capabilities in handling sensitive health service records. While the procurement was completed via a framework agreement, businesses that align their offerings with the needs of NHS England and similar organisations may find growth opportunities in enhancing their services to meet framework agreement criteria. However, it is noted that the suitability for SMEs and VCSEs was not indicated as a priority for this specific contract, suggesting larger or specialised firms may have been better positioned to compete. The procurement, valued at £60,000 in one instance and £22,000 in another, reflects substantial business potential within the records management category.
