## Summary

The NHS Digital is seeking to procure a De-Identification Solution as part of an ongoing project aimed at establishing a strategic approach to data de-identification. The tender, classified under IT services, particularly software development and consulting, has been published on 17th January 2018, and will remain open until 19th February 2018. The contract period is set to commence on 13th April 2018 and run until 18th April 2023. The procurement method is an open procedure, allowing a broad range of suppliers to participate in this contract opportunity.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the IT services sector, particularly those specialising in data security, software development, and privacy compliance. Companies eligible to compete should possess expertise in data de-identification and re-identification solutions, and could include small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can deliver innovative approaches to data protection. Engaging in this project not only allows firms to contribute to enhancing patient privacy but also positions them favourably within the expanding market of healthcare technology solutions.

## Notice

The De-identification Project will implement a strategic approach to de-identifying data flowing into or out of NHS Digital, or requiring linkage with NHS Digital data. It will provide the capability to re-identify data where authorised. The solution will be implemented centrally and regionally. The high-level drivers for the De-Identification project are: - Reduce the risk of unauthorised access to identifiable data - Minimise the risks of re-identification. - Protect patient privacy and comply with legislation, through the consistent application of a standardised de-identification and re-identification capability. - Enable the linkage of data, without the need to flow identifiers. - Provide de-identified data with a high analytic utility.
