Summary of the contracting process

Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust procured an electronic recruitment and applicant tracking platform to support its recruitment activities. The requirement is classified as recruitment services and falls within the services category. The platform is intended for use by the Trust, based in Hull, England, with the procurement associated with the Trust’s local operations. The selected supplier is Civica Limited, a large technology and business services company. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, although the completed award was made to a larger supplier. The opportunity concerns the provision of a digital recruitment system rather than recruitment consultancy, temporary staffing, permanent placement services or general human resources support.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Civica Limited on 3 August 2026. It was run as a selective procedure and was a call-off from a framework agreement. The award value is £41,676, while the tender’s estimated value range was £41,676 to £50,011. The awarded contract runs from 4 August 2026 to 3 August 2028. The requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off process. Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust is the buyer. The award is active, and the contract period begins immediately after the award decision. The procurement covers one requirement for the electronic recruitment and applicant tracking platform, rather than separate lots or multiple supplier awards.

This award indicates established NHS demand for electronic recruitment and applicant tracking technology from a supplier able to provide a complete platform rather than a standalone recruitment service. Relevant competitors would need a credible product covering core applicant tracking and recruitment workflows, together with the implementation, support and service capability expected by an NHS foundation trust. Experience delivering secure, dependable digital systems for public-sector or healthcare organisations would strengthen a future proposition, as would evidence of managing recruitment data, user access, workflow configuration and ongoing service performance. Smaller technology businesses are expressly within the buyer’s suitability scope, so an SME with a mature platform and the capacity to meet NHS assurance and support expectations could be well placed.
