Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process involves the Hertfordshire Community NHS Trust, which successfully conducted a selective tendering process for IT software packages, specifically NHS Electronic Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check services. Awarded using the G-Cloud 14 Framework, this contract is valued at £30,000 and has been granted to Atlantic Data Ltd. The contract period begins on 1st February 2026 and concludes on 31st January 2028, with services delivered within the United Kingdom, primarily around Welwyn Garden City, England. The procurement method was a call-off from a framework agreement, and the award stage was completed, with the contract officially activated on 1st February 2026.

This tender represents potential growth opportunities for businesses within the IT software sector, particularly those experienced in providing specialised electronic DBS check services. While suitable for larger firms rather than small or voluntary sector enterprises, businesses focused on governmental framework agreements can benefit from seeking similar opportunities. Atlantic Data Ltd, a small-to-medium enterprise, showcases the potential for agile organisations to join selective frameworks and compete effectively, enhancing their portfolio within the public sector contracting landscape.
