## Summary

The Hertfordshire Catering Limited (HCL) is currently in the award stage of the procurement process for the project titled "Enhancement of the Allergy Management System". This initiative falls under the services category, specifically focussing on the development of transaction processing and custom software. The awarded contract is valued at £418,000 and was signed on 27 January 2022, with delivery locations centred in the UKH23 area. The procurement method was a limited procedure, conducted without prior publication of a call for competition, mainly due to previous unsuccessful tenders to integrate with existing systems.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in software development, particularly those with experience in custom solutions for public sector clients. Companies that can demonstrate capability in enhancing existing systems and integrating additional features will find themselves well suited to compete, especially as HCL has a history of engaging with suppliers who can address specific operational needs. Potential suppliers like software firms and technology service providers may leverage this opportunity to grow their footprint within the public sector.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

This is an Award Notice. Hertfordshire Catering Limited (HCL) have awarded a contract for an upgrade and development of their current Allergy Management System to integrate with other additional features and functions.

### Procurement Information

In 2018, Hertfordshire Catering Limited (HCL) went out to tender for an off-the-shelf electronic meal ordering and payment system (The Provision of an Electronic Meal Selection, Payments and Kitchen Management System Ref - HCL/IT012), with the aim for this to link to HCL's existing Allergy Management System (AMS) as part of the requirement. After clarification meetings with the three companies that had submitted tender bids, the tender process was abandoned as none of the responses met HCL's requirements and the systems offered could not integrate with the AMS. As this procurement failed to find a suitable off-the-shelf solution HCL reconsidered their requirements and the only option remaining to HCL is to develop and enhance the existing AMS with additional features required as one whole integrated system. The service can be provided only by a particular economic operator for technical reasons as they built the AMS from scratch for HCL.
