Summary of the contracting process

Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust procured the Experian Quick Address Service, a data-processing service for address information. The requirement is associated with the Trust’s operations in Hertfordshire and is intended to provide quick address functionality. The buyer is Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust, a public NHS organisation. The service falls within the data-processing services category (CPV 72310000). The awarded supplier is Experian Limited, a large UK-based company headquartered in Nottingham. This is a focused digital data service rather than a construction, equipment supply or general consultancy requirement, so it is most relevant to businesses providing address-data processing, address lookup, data quality or related software services to NHS and other public-sector organisations.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Experian Limited. Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 16 July 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 30 July 2030. Its value is £18,400 excluding VAT, or £22,080 including VAT. One award and one active contract cover the single lot. The award date is 16 July 2026. The published outcome identifies the service as data processing and the contract title as HPFT – Experian Quick Address Service. No comparative tender evaluation basis or supplier selection criteria are recorded for this direct award.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement for address-processing capability within an NHS trust, delivered as a focused digital service over a multi-year operating period. It is commercially relevant to suppliers offering address lookup, address validation, data quality, data integration or comparable data-processing services. A credible competitor would need a functioning service that can support quick address searches reliably, integrate with the buyer’s operational systems and handle public-sector information responsibly. Experience delivering similar services to NHS bodies or other organisations with sensitive personal data would strengthen a supplier’s position, although the published outcome does not identify specific accreditations or technical qualifications. The direct-award, below-threshold route also shows the buyer’s use of a relatively small, specialist service requirement.
