Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "HCT - Workforce/roster consultancy" conducted by the Hertfordshire Community NHS Trust involves a direct award for consultancy services. The contract, valued at £32,000, was intended to support the HCT capital programme from August to December 2025, with the contract signed on 30th July 2025. The buyer, located at Unit 1A Howard Court, Welwyn Garden City, operates within the healthcare sector, specifically under central government public authority. This contract falls under the services category, focusing on IT-related consulting for workforce and roster management.

This consultancy tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in IT consulting, specifically those that can provide workforce and roster management solutions. Large-scale IT service providers, like 3 TOUCH LTD, which secured the contract, would find such direct awards beneficial in enhancing their portfolio within the public sector. Businesses looking to expand their reach in government contracts and those with expertise in IT services related to healthcare would be well-suited to compete in similar procurement opportunities. The process employs a non-competitive procurement method, thus favouring businesses with a solid reputation and established relationships in the public healthcare sector.
