Summary of the contracting process

NHS England is procuring services through its Information Representation Service (IReS) Building Information Standards Business Dynamic Purchasing System. The requirement covers building information standards work, including minor or ongoing maintenance of an existing standard, major revisions to existing standards, and creation of new standards. The wider service supports assurance and appraisal of information standards submitted to the Data Alliance Partnership Board for publication. This is a health and social work services procurement, classified under CPV 85000000, although the practical requirement is specialist information and data standards work rather than general healthcare delivery. The buyer is NHS England, with NHS Digital also identified in the procurement. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, with an address associated with Leeds, West Yorkshire.

The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure above the threshold, using a dynamic purchasing system. Applications to join the DPS must be submitted by 31 October 2027 at 12:00 UTC. The DPS contract period runs from 1 November 2027 to 31 December 2027, when the system expires. The opportunity is arranged as a single requirement rather than separate lots. Suppliers can apply to the DPS during its application period and may then be considered for relevant requirements issued through it. The procurement data identifies small and medium-sized enterprises as suitable participants. The published information does not set out a separate price or quality weighting; suppliers should review the DPS documentation for the detailed conditions and evaluation arrangements.

This opportunity suits specialist consultancies, standards bodies and information-management businesses that can develop, maintain, revise or assure building information standards. Relevant capability includes understanding data standards, information representation, assurance and appraisal, together with the ability to assess standards submitted for publication through a governance process. The work may suit businesses able to support small maintenance tasks as well as substantial revisions or development of entirely new standards. Suppliers should be able to work with NHS information governance and the Data Alliance Partnership Board’s publication process, and to provide clear technical analysis and assurance outputs. The DPS is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so it may be accessible to focused specialist firms as well as larger organisations with established standards and data-assurance teams.
