Summary of the contracting process

In November 2024, NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board awarded a contract to Bradford Care Alliance for the provision of Data Protection Officer (DPO) services supporting general practice under the Bradford District and Craven Health and Care Partnership. The procurement, classified under "Health and social work services", was conducted as an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition due to its linkage to a wider GP IT contract already in place. The contract runs from 1st April 2024 to 31st March 2026, with an option for a one-year extension. Services will be provided across the UK, ensuring continuity until the main GP IT contract can be re-tendered.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses in the health services sector, particularly those specialising in IT and data protection services for healthcare providers. SMEs with expertise in managing sensitive healthcare data and maintaining stringent data protection standards will find this an attractive prospect due to its focus on supporting general practice operations. The stability and length of the contract offer substantial potential for sustained business growth and presence within the healthcare sector, allowing businesses to strategically position themselves for future procurement opportunities within the NHS framework.

Notice Description

Data Protection Officer role supporting general practice. Contract Term: 01 April 20124 - 31 March 2026

Lot Information

Lot 1

Data Protection Officer role supporting general practice. Contract Term: 01 April 20124 - 31 March 2026

Procurement Information

The provision of this service is linked to the wider GPIT provision across Bradford District and Craven. The wider contract is provided by The Health Informatics Service (THIS). Specifically the provision of the Data Protection Officer with Bradford Care Alliance has been in place since the commencement of the contract with THIS which in turn has been extended to 31/03/2026 with an option of a further year extension to 31/03/2027. It is intended to re-tender for the DPO contract at the same time that the wider service is tendered. There have been no concerns around performance and the ICB is confident that will be the case for the remainder of the proposed contract term. The contract has had NHS uplifts applied with no growth during the term. This tender waiver is sought to ensure continuity of service until 31st March 2026 to enable procurement options to be considered as a whole when the main GP IT contract expires. Justification under which formal quotation / tendering process is to be waived: (i) there is a clear benefit to be gained from maintaining continuity with an earlier project. However, in such cases the benefits of such continuity must outweigh any potential financial advantage to be gained by competitive tendering.
