The requirement is for the ability to issue industry-standard assured certificates, supporting secure public access to the Trust’s websites. This is an electronic certification service, classified under CPV 79132100, rather than a website design, hosting or general IT support contract. The work is associated with the Trust’s site in Bradford, West Yorkshire, and supports services delivered in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, based at Duckworth Lane, Bradford. The requirement is categorised as a service and concerns the Trust’s ongoing website security and certificate provision. The procurement is complete and was awarded to DigiCert Ireland Ltd on 17 August 2026. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement, with submissions due by 4 August 2026 at 12:00. The awarded value is £21,256.62, including the published currency of GBP. The contract runs from 5 August 2026 to 4 August 2029. The Trust’s evaluation resulted in one active award to DigiCert Ireland Ltd for the certificate renewal service. The procurement was treated as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award reflects a defined framework-based route for purchasing high-assurance certificates rather than an open standalone competition. This award demonstrates a recurring requirement from an NHS acute hospital trust for managed high-assurance SSL certificate provision across internet-facing websites. Suppliers seeking to compete when the requirement returns would need to provide industry-standard assured certificates reliably for public-sector online services, with the operational capability to issue, renew and support certificates throughout a multi-year service arrangement. Credibility would also depend on meeting the security, assurance and service-management expectations associated with an NHS organisation and its externally accessible systems. Experience supporting healthcare, government or other security-sensitive websites would help demonstrate understanding of availability, certificate lifecycle control and risk management. Access to the relevant framework route would be important, since this purchase was made as a framework call-off. ## Notice Bradford Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (BTHFT) requires the ability to issue industry standard assured SSL certificates for internet facing services. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/888de72d-3df4-417a-a93b-155e2d6aa3b5 | | 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 | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Aug 2026 | | Submission deadline | 4 Aug 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 17 Aug 2026 | | Contract period | 5 Aug 2026 - 4 Aug 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £21,256 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £21,256 | | 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 | Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust | | Locality | BRADFORD | | Postcode area | Bradford | | Postcode | BD9 6RJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE4 West Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE41 Bradford | | Local authority | Bradford | | Electoral ward | Toller | | Westminster constituency | Bradford West | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | DigiCert Ireland Limited | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79132100 - Electronic signature certification services ## Release History - 21 Aug 2026 at 15:35 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/888de72d-3df4-417a-a93b-155e2d6aa3b5 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/888de72d-3df4-417a-a93b-155e2d6aa3b5 21st August 2026 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
