Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Social Care Data Access Project undertaken by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) aims to address challenges in accessing fragmented and hard-to-use data within adult social care. Categorised under IT software development services, this project has reached the Award stage, with the contract awarded to Deloitte LLP. The project is valued at £3,890,000 and is set to run from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. The procurement method was selective, executed as a call-off from a framework agreement. The project location is primarily based in the United Kingdom, with key administrative operations centred in Leeds.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities for firms specialising in IT software development. Ideal candidates for such contracts include SMEs and VCSEs capable of innovating and facilitating data accessibility improvements. Partnering with a large-scale supplier like Deloitte LLP indicates potential collaboration and subcontracting opportunities for smaller enterprises looking to expand their market presence in the public sector. With a focus on enhancing data utilisation within social care, businesses that can provide reliable solutions and efficient data management services will be well-positioned to leverage these opportunities.

Notice Information

Notice Title

DHSC: Social Care Data Access Project

Notice Description

The Data Access Project (DAP) is being undertaken to address significant challenges in adult social care (ASC) related to fragmented, hard-to-access data. Currently, care providers and local authorities spend considerable time submitting data but do not feel they get sufficient value in return. A lack of a single, reliable data source impairs their ability to make informed decisions, hampers innovation, and constrains efforts to improve outcomes for people who draw on care services. GASCD responds to these challenges.
