Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust commissioned specialist support for its Healthset data migration. The work covers assessing the Trust’s legacy data landscape, defining the migration strategy and scope, putting data quality and governance controls in place, and carrying out initial migration and archiving activities. This is data-engineering and software implementation work for an NHS trust, focused on moving and managing existing health data rather than supplying a general-purpose software product. The award relates to one lot, and the delivery is for the Trust; no more specific delivery location is stated.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to The Black Fallow Company through a direct award. The buyer’s rationale was that the supplier demonstrated the best capability to deliver the scope and proposed three dedicated resources. The award value is £147,840 excluding VAT (£177,408 including VAT). The contract period runs from 30 October 2026 to 29 January 2027. The award was recorded on 15 October 2026. The procurement was divided into one lot, which was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The stated evaluation basis was capability to deliver the required work; no further scored criteria are set out.

This award shows demand from University Hospitals Dorset for specialist data-engineering support to migrate and archive legacy health data. A credible competitor for similar work would need to assess complex legacy data, shape a practical migration strategy and scope, establish effective data-quality and governance controls, and deliver migration and archiving activities—not just provide advice or software. The selected supplier proposed a dedicated team of three, indicating that the buyer valued capacity to deliver the work as well as relevant capability. Smaller businesses were considered suitable for the single lot, so this requirement was not framed as being exclusively for large providers. Suppliers with a demonstrable record of delivering comparable health-data migrations and the ability to provide a focused, delivery-ready team would be well placed to compete when this requirement next arises.
