To deliver DASP effectively, NHSBT has already undertaken, or is currently undertaking, separate procurement activity for key programme partners and the CRM Platform/Donor Platform. NHSBT is now commencing preliminary market engagement for the next phase of delivery, relating to the proposed appointment of a Technical Implementation Partner (TIP) and a Business Change Partner (BCP). The Technical Implementation Partner is expected to support the technical implementation of the selected CRM Platform/Donor Platform and associated digital ecosystem. This may include activities such as solution design, configuration, integration, data migration, testing, deployment, transition, implementation governance, technical assurance and operational readiness. The Business Change Partner is expected to support the business change, adoption and operational transformation required to enable successful implementation of DASP. This may include activities such as stakeholder engagement, change impact assessment, operating model design, communications, training, adoption planning, business readiness, benefits realisation and transition to business-as-usual. At this stage, NHSBT's current intention is to run one procurement exercise covering both the TIP and BCP requirements. This may include separate lots, workstreams or other procurement structure within a single procurement process. However, this position is subject to market engagement and may change before publication of any Invitation to Tender. NHSBT may decide to procure the TIP and BCP requirements together, separately, by lots, or using another structure where this is considered appropriate and in the best interests of the programme. The purpose of this preliminary market engagement is to help NHSBT understand market capability, delivery models, supplier interest, commercial considerations, lotting and procurement structure options, potential risks and dependencies, and how best to shape a future procurement process. Participation in this preliminary market engagement is not a requirement for participation in any future procurement and will not confer any advantage in any future competition. Further details of any procurement process, including procedure, lotting, scope, evaluation methodology, timetable and contract structure, will be confirmed in any future tender notice and associated tender documents.", "items": [ { "id": "1", "additionalClassifications": [ { "scheme": "CPV", "id": "72224000", "description": "Project management consultancy services" }, { "scheme": "CPV", "id": "72000000", "description": "IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support" }, { "scheme": "CPV", "id": "79400000", "description": "Business and management consultancy and related services" }, { "scheme": "CPV", "id": "71356300", "description": "Technical support services" }, { "scheme": "CPV", "id": "72220000", "description": "Systems and technical consultancy services" } ], "relatedLot": "1" } ], "value": { "amountGross": 11000000, "amount": 8800000, "currency": "GBP" }, "mainProcurementCategory": "services", "aboveThreshold": true, "lots": [ { "id": "1", "suitability": { "sme": true }, "contractPeriod": { "startDate": "2026-12-01T00:00:00Z", "endDate": "2029-11-30T23:59:59Z", "maxExtentDate": "2030-11-30T23:59:59Z" }, "hasRenewal": true, "status": "planning" } ], "communication": { "futureNoticeDate": "2026-08-17T23:59:59+01:00" }, "status": "planning" }, "language": "en" }
