## Summary

The NHS Commissioning Board has completed a procurement process for the "Test Beds National Information Governance Support" contract, intended to enhance Information Governance across seven Test Beds. This contract, valued at £239,555, centres on addressing key IG issues identified in January 2016. The procurement was classified under business and management consultancy services and followed a tender process. The contract period commenced on 15 December 2016 and will conclude on 31 March 2018. The tender was published before its end date of 11 August 2016.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for consultancy firms focusing on information governance and compliance. Businesses with experience in providing technical and quality assurance support, especially those equipped to navigate the challenges posed by IG regulations, would be well-placed to participate.

The second phase is to provide quality assurance, technical emergency support and creation of IG guidance documentation.
