This procurement process is at the planning stage and focuses on identifying software solutions that provide real-time insights and intelligence on supply chain risks.

Suppliers are encouraged to provide written or recorded information regarding their products, focusing on supplier intelligence, financial health, supply chain transparency, and regulatory compliance. Participating in this tender presents a substantial growth opportunity for businesses that specialise in supply chain risk management software – particularly those offering cloud-based solutions and real-time risk assessment capabilities. SMEs and VCSEs are particularly encouraged to engage, as the DHSC is interested in understanding the range of solutions these organisations can provide. Information on organisational changes, business performance, environmental and governance issues, financial health, supply chain transparency, and external risk factors are particularly sought after. This engagement phase can pave the way for future collaboration and contract opportunities, making it ideal for businesses aiming to extend their footprint in the public health sector. ## Notice The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) is inviting suppliers of supply chain risk management software to share information about their product.
