The contract has a total value of £16,505,048.75 and involves selective procurement method details by calling off from a framework agreement. The contract period started on 6th August 2021 and will end on 5th August 2023. The tender period ended on 8th June 2021, and the contract covers multiple delivery addresses including the UK, European countries, and British Oversea Territories. This awarded contract presents opportunities for businesses in the IT services industry, particularly those offering consulting, software development, Internet, and support services. Companies well-suited to compete in such tenders should be capable of providing User Centred Design services. The procurement stage has passed the tender phase and is now in the award stage, offering insights into the type of services sought by NHS Digital and the potential for future contracts within the same sector. ## Notice AWARD Provision of User Centred Design services VARIATION The value of this variation is PS6,282,541 and the Expiry Date has been extended by nine months to 31st October 2024. This variation is being made in accordance with Regulation 72(1)(a) and 72(1)(b) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015. The services provided under the contract remain the same, being the provision of User Centred Design services across multiple Directories. However, there has been an unforeseen need to extend the contract for a further nine months while the re-procurement, ahead of a planned 2024 award, is completed. During the original and extended term, there has been a non-substantial amendment to the contract, reflecting the agile nature of the services. The revised value of the contract is now PS21,979,109 It should be noted that it has also come to the attention of NHS England that the original Award Value included in the CF Award Notice was incorrect. The accurate Award Value of the contract should have been stated as PS16,505,048.75 including the optional extension provisioned in the contract. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9273d2dd-9ce6-4135-886a-8700817d93e8 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Call-off from a framework agreement | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 25 Jan 2024 | | Submission deadline | 8 Jun 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 25 Nov 2021 | | Contract period | 5 Aug 2021 - 5 Aug 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £23,400,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £29,505,048 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS DIGITAL | | Locality | LEEDS | | Post town | Leeds | | Postcode | LS1 4AP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE4 West Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE42 Leeds | | Local authority | Leeds | | Electoral ward | Hunslet & Riverside | | Westminster constituency | Leeds South | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | HIPPO DIGITAL | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ## Release History - 25 Jan 2024 at 15:36 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9273d2dd-9ce6-4135-886a-8700817d93e8 - 24 May 2022 at 15:54 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1adc4854-01ae-42f6-95b5-68249fe94e00 - 12 Jan 2022 at 12:33 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2ca84897-37d4-4e5c-814a-f2cf5a3699d5 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9273d2dd-9ce6-4135-886a-8700817d93e8 25th January 2024 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1adc4854-01ae-42f6-95b5-68249fe94e00 24th May 2022 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2ca84897-37d4-4e5c-814a-f2cf5a3699d5 12th January 2022 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://atamis-1928.cloudforce.com/sfc/p/0O000000rwim/a/8d000000IHEp/LuHM4kJUkN0.3QgbJ1TBeJZ5FHyOX1QLKUg31zYRojQ C49421 User Centered Design 01 Order Form - Redacted - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/7c1fdaa8-aaba-412c-9564-4abdd80dd9ef C49421 User Centered Design 01 Order Form - Redacted ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
