Notice Description
This Contract Award Notice is intended to inform the market that NHS Hertfordshire and West Essex Integrated Care Board (HWE ICB) have entered into a contract with BJM IG Privacy Limited - Data Privacy Simplified Limited, to deliver professional Information Governance Support Services. This follows the publication of a Voluntary Ex Ante Transparency (VEAT) Notice on 13th July 2023 (reference: 2023/S 000-018914) which provided confirmation of the Authority's intention to enter into a contract with the identified supplier. BJM Privacy - Data Privacy Simplified Ltd, have been providing this service to HWE ICB since the incorporation of the ICB on 1st July 2022.
