This service contract, valued at £160,440, was procured through a selective method as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period ended on 20th May 2024.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses experienced in technical aspects of Trusted Research Environments (TRE) and familiar with Microsoft's Azure infrastructure. Companies that can participate in collaborative efforts with existing teams to improve and expand TRE implementations utilizing modern, cost-effective technologies will find this tender particularly promising. Despite its structured requirements, such engagements can foster growth and establish robust working relationships within the public health sector, opening doors for similar future projects and fostering expertise in secure data environment configurations.

## Notice

NECS is seeking a qualified and experienced professional build partner who is knowledgeable of all technical aspects of Trusted Research Environments (TRE) and who has experience of working with similar secure environments. The NENC SNSDE is based on Microsoft Azure infrastructure so the supplier must have experience of working with the technology stack. The supplier must work with the existing team at NECS collaboratively to grow and expand our existing TRE implementation. This will require the refactoring part of the current design to make best use of more modern and cost-effective technologies.
