Summary of the contracting process

The Human Fertilisation & Embryology Authority (HFEA) is undertaking a procurement process for its Transformation Project, which involves replacing its bespoke regulatory licence management system (Epicentre) and web portal with Microsoft Dynamics 365 and related cloud portal technologies. This initiative, based in London (UKI32), falls under the IT services industry category, focusing on consulting, software development, Internet and support. The process has successfully completed with an active contract awarded to Ceox Services Ltd on 24th February 2025, following an open procedure. The intended contract will have an initial term of 30 months with an 18-month build phase and a 12-month service period, with an option to extend for a further 12 months. The Department of Health & Social Care (DHSC) earlier published this notice on behalf of HFEA for services to modernise and sustainably upgrade their systems to be future-ready, including adaptability to AI technologies.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, especially for companies specialising in IT consulting, software development, and support services. With an estimated contract value of £690,000, firms experienced in Microsoft technologies, particularly Dynamics 365 and SharePoint, would be well-positioned to compete. The project requires delivery partners capable of fostering sustainable, future-proof systems, allowing HFEA to leverage advanced technologies efficiently. Businesses geared towards comprehensive IT service solutions, including cloud technology integration, will find this tender particularly relevant. The contract framework promotes innovation and includes competitive criteria, primarily focused on price, thus appealing to established organisations with a robust portfolio of similar successful transformations.
