Summary of the contracting process

Hertfordshire Partnership Foundation NHS Trust procured Zivver secure communications software to support secure communications. This is an IT software procurement, classified under CPV 48517000. The Trust is based in Welwyn Garden City, and the delivery location is identified by the postcode AL10 8YE in England.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Zivver Limited on 29 June 2026. The Trust used a selective call-off from the G-Cloud 14 framework. The awarded contract value is £82,000. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2029. The estimated procurement range was £80,000 to £82,000. The bid submission deadline was 1 June 2026. The procurement was categorised as goods, and the Trust indicated that it was not suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. No award evaluation criteria are described.

This award shows that Hertfordshire Partnership Foundation NHS Trust buys secure communications software through a call-off from the G-Cloud framework, rather than a standalone open competition. Suppliers seeking to compete when this requirement returns would need to provide secure communications software that meets the Trust’s operational needs and be eligible to supply through the relevant framework route. The contract was awarded to Zivver Limited, a supplier identified as an SME, although the Trust marked the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs. That distinction is relevant to smaller providers considering similar work: framework access and a credible secure communications offering are evident features of this purchase, while the buyer’s recorded suitability assessment points to a potential size or capacity barrier.
