## Summary

The NHS England has awarded a contract titled "NHS login - Bulk SMS 24 / 25" to Commify UK Limited trading as VOODOO for the provision of enhanced messaging services. The procurement pertains to the health care industry, specifically classified under Enhanced Messaging Service (EMS) services (CPV: 64212200). The contract, procured through a selective method as part of a call-off from a framework agreement, is valued at £1,581,130.71. The service includes sending SMS to patients registering for the NHS login service and is primarily a backup to prevent service downtime. Delivery locations include the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and other global regions. The contract spans from 1 August 2024 to 31 July 2027, with a tender period that ended on 31 July 2024.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in telecommunications and digital health services. Companies with expertise in providing secure, scalable messaging solutions would find this contract particularly advantageous. The focus on continuity and reliability in patient communication highlights a critical need within the NHS framework, making it suitable for businesses that can offer robust and dependable services. Larger enterprises with resources to handle high volumes of SMS traffic would be better suited given the contract's magnitude and the non-suitability criteria for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs).
