Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Infected Blood Compensation Authority procured a people survey platform to provide employment insights and measure engagement across its organisation. This is a software supply service, covering the provision of a platform that supports organisational people surveys and the analysis of workforce feedback. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The buyer is based in Newcastle upon Tyne and is responsible for administering compensation for people affected by infected blood. The requirement is relevant to suppliers of employee survey software, workforce analytics platforms, staff engagement tools and related implementation or support services. It may also suit smaller businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises, as the procurement was identified as suitable for both types of organisation.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective call-off from a framework agreement rather than an open standalone competition. HiveHR Ltd was awarded the contract on 24 August 2026 for £32,000. The contract runs from 26 August 2026 to 25 August 2028. The original tender submission deadline was 20 August 2026. The requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off process, with the procurement category recorded as services. The awarded supplier is HiveHR Ltd, a small or medium-sized enterprise. The contract covers the people survey platform requirement for the Infected Blood Compensation Authority and has an active award status.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award indicates a defined public-sector demand for a people survey platform supporting employment insight and staff engagement. A credible competitor for a future requirement with this buyer would need a reliable software product for designing and running organisational surveys, collecting workforce responses and turning feedback into useful engagement or employment analysis. The ability to support public-sector users throughout implementation and contract delivery would also be relevant, including clear service management, user support, data handling and reporting. Smaller businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises were considered suitable for this requirement, so scale of organisation alone would not prevent a capable specialist supplier from competing when a comparable need returns.
