## Summary

The procurement process for the "DHSC:TDD: Technology, Digital and Data (TDD) Operating Model Sprint" has been completed. The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), located at 39 Victoria Street, London, initiated this selective procurement via a call-off from a framework agreement. This project falls under the industry category of Information Technology services, specifically IT services consulting and software development. The tender period concluded on 14th June 2026, with the contract running from 15th June to 15th September 2026. The successful supplier for this contract, valued at £948,000, is Guidehouse Europe Limited.

This tender offers significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for those in the realm of IT consultancy and service development. While the DHSC favoured calling off a framework agreement, this kind of project can be highly beneficial for companies experienced in digital transformation within large organisations. Although the contract has already been awarded, businesses with the capability to offer innovative and efficient digital operating models or those looking to partner in such projects can find growth opportunities by positioning themselves competitively in similar future tenders. Consulting firms and tech companies could utilise their expertise in creating solutions that support organisational transformation within the health sector.

## Notice

A time-bound "operating model sprint" to define the optimal central Technology, Digital and Data (TDD) function required for the health and care system, and to set out a safe transition from the current state to April 2027 and beyond, protecting live services and existing delivery commitments (including the 10 Year Health Plan) within the SR25 financial envelope. The sprint will define the functions of a future "digital centre" (with particular focus on cyber and data), clarify which decisions and responsibilities sit centrally versus being federated across regions, ICBs and providers (and the mandates retained by the centre), and specify how the centre will interact with DHSC and the wider system. It will develop deliverable operating model and organisational structure options (including product/pathway-centric approaches aligned to Modern Service Frameworks, market leverage, and appropriate build/own/operate/transfer balance), alongside a workforce strategy and an implementation and transition plan covering an immediate interim model, an April 2027 model for consultation in October 2026, and an end-state design with a realistic timeline that does not increase delivery, cyber or resilience risk. Delivery will be supported by circa three months of specialist consultancy, a dedicated DHSC/NHSE working team and DSIT input, under defined governance (steering group and senior sign-off) and proactive engagement with HMT, Cabinet Office, DSIT and assurance bodies.
