## Summary

The NHS Business Services Authority has completed a public procurement process for an IT Health Check (ITHC) related to the Oracle OCI Data Warehouse. This contract, awarded to NCC Group PLC, is valued at £27,500 and falls under the IT services sector, specifically in consulting, software development, and support. The procurement method used was a direct single tender action, which is below the threshold for competitive tendering. The contract period commenced on 9 March 2021 and will conclude on 8 April 2021. The service is to be delivered primarily in the United Kingdom but may also extend to British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, and beyond.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses engaged in IT consulting, particularly those specialising in systems testing services. Companies that offer cybersecurity assessments or health checks in IT systems could find this a lucrative avenue for growth. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to explore similar opportunities in forthcoming tenders, as these types of organisations are explicitly recognised as suitable participants in such contracts.

## Notice

ITHC's provide an essential aid to risk identification, vulnerability remediation action closure, across software and hardware solutions, as well as being a requirement of the Government Development Standards.
