## Summary

The procurement process for the "HCT - BT Smart Messaging" involved Hertfordshire Community NHS Trust acting as the buying organisation and was conducted under the industry category of software packages and information systems. This process took place in Welwyn Garden City, England, with a focus on delivery within the UK. It progressed through the award stage on 10th December 2025, following a selective procurement method via a call-off from a framework agreement (CCS RM6116).

This tender presents growth opportunities primarily for large-scale technology firms, especially those capable of delivering software and information systems solutions. While small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) may not find it directly suitable, large businesses with a capacity for robust smart messaging solutions, akin to BT's involvement, are well-positioned to benefit from similar public sector initiatives. The opportunity to form collaborations and utilise established frameworks offers an advantageous platform for expanding business within the public sector, aligning with major NHS technological improvements.
