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. The total value of this arrangement fell underneath the thresholds for competition in line with the Public Contract Regulations (PCR).

The previous value of work awarded to the supplier was PS122,112 (excluding VAT). The proposed new contract will end on 31st March 2024 and has a value of PS153,372 (inclusive of VAT).
