Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for "Digital Office and Transformation Solutions" is currently in the planning stage, initiated by Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, a central government public authority located in London, UK. This procurement aims to engage potential suppliers in the industry categories of IT services, software packages, data storage, and consultancy services. An upcoming milestone in this process is a market engagement session with a Request for Information (RFI) due by 27th October 2025. The procurement process involves preparing for a tender under the legal framework of UK legislation, which anticipates the launch of a full tender phase by 15th December 2025. The contract period once awarded is expected to start in April 2026 and may extend until 2034 if renewals are applied.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for companies in the digital transformation and IT consultancy sectors. Businesses specialising in document management, software development, enterprise resource planning, and related IT support services will find this procurement particularly pertinent. As the Trust intends to establish a framework agreement, companies suited for framework provisions, such as SMEs and social enterprises, are encouraged to participate. The preliminary engagement phase seeks input to refine tender documentation and future collaboration terms, offering a valuable entry point into public sector contracts for scaling businesses.

Notice Title

Digital Office and Transformation Solutions

Notice Description

The initial aim of the pre-tender market engagement is to make interested parties aware of this upcoming tender. Furthermore, we are keen to use the responses to the questionnaire and subsequent engagement sessions / workshops to understand levels of interest in the proposed procurement activity and whether the market will be in a position to bid for and deliver the specified services within the proposed construct. This document serves as a Request for Information (RFI) and contains questions for suppliers to respond to. All feedback in response to these questions is very much appreciated and may be used in the formation of the tender documentation, including the specification. We will regard responses to these questions as commercially confidential, and where a request for information, which may relate to such a response, is received by us, under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA), we will take reasonable steps to consult with the relevant supplier in relation to the request. Suppliers should understand that we are responsible for determining the application of any exemption from disclosure under FOIA to any information, and that applicants may request a review of that decision, and should apply to the Information Commissioner in respect of the decision, or appeal to the Tribunal as provided for by FOIA.
