Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) bought bespoke Databricks training and support for analysts working across DHSC and NHS England platforms. The requirement covers practical workshops, guidance materials and hands-on troubleshooting, making this an IT consultancy and support service rather than a general software supply. Delivery is associated with DHSC’s London base at 39 Victoria Street, and the procurement also covers activity across the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The work is relevant to providers with specialist Databricks capability, experience supporting analyst teams and the ability to deliver training and technical assistance across multiple public-sector platforms.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Databricks Inc on 28 August 2026. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 31 July 2026 at noon. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. The awarded value is £113,619; the contract was awarded in US dollars at $153,999, with the sterling value calculated using the HMRC September 2026 exchange rate. The original estimated value was between £113,619 and £160,000. Databricks Inc is the sole recorded supplier. The procurement was classified as services and was identified as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award demonstrates established demand from DHSC for specialist Databricks capability supporting analysts across both DHSC and NHS England environments. A credible future competitor would need to provide bespoke technical training, practical workshops, clear guidance materials and responsive hands-on troubleshooting, rather than only supplying software licences or generic classroom training. Strong knowledge of Databricks and the ability to work across multiple organisational platforms would be central, alongside trainers and support specialists who can adapt material to analysts’ working needs. The call-off route also shows that relevant suppliers need access to an appropriate public-sector framework and the capacity to deliver a focused, specialist service for a large government department.
