## Summary

West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospital NHS Trust procured three years of cyber security assurance, classified as security software. The requirement was delivered through Hunter Health, with the work associated with Watford (WD18 0HB). This is a cyber assurance requirement for a hospital trust, rather than a general IT support or healthcare services contract.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Hunter Healthcare Resourcing Limited. The award was made on 8 March 2026 for £626,000. The contract period runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029. The estimated procurement range was £620,000 to £626,000. The Trust used a selective procedure, calling off the ESPO 664_225 Consultancy Services Framework. The tender deadline was 2 March 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The requirement was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For suppliers considering a comparable future requirement from this Trust, the award demonstrates demand for a multi-year cyber security assurance service procured through an established consultancy framework. A credible competitor would need to deliver cyber assurance for a hospital organisation and be eligible to compete through the relevant framework route. The procurement was marked unsuitable for SMEs, so smaller suppliers should consider whether they can participate through an eligible framework supplier or delivery partnership. The published requirement gives no further detail on particular technical capabilities, accreditations or capacity thresholds, so these cannot be treated as confirmed selection requirements.
