The project involves engaging industry providers for the creation of secure data storage, access, and analysis platforms. The initiative aims to establish a competitive ecosystem of such environments built on open standards and codes, promoting cost-efficiency and advanced capabilities. Interested parties are invited to attend briefing and engagement sessions on specific dates to explore potential collaboration opportunities. This procurement opportunity by NHS England presents a chance for technology vendors, service providers, and systems integrators with expertise in data services and IT services to contribute to the development of secure data environments for health and social care data analysis. The initiative focuses on fostering innovation and collaboration within the healthcare sector, offering a platform for businesses to showcase their capabilities and potentially secure future contracts with NHS England. Interested parties should register their interest by a specified deadline to participate in the upcoming engagement sessions and receive further information on the project. ## Notice NHS England wish to conduct market engagement with relevant industry providers in relation to the delivery of the Secure Data Environment (SDE) Network envisaged by the Data for Research & Development (R&D) programme. Secure Data Environments are data storage, access, and analysis platforms, which facilitate high standards of privacy and security of NHS health and social care data when used for research and analysis. ### Lot Information Lot 1 NHS England wish to conduct market engagement with relevant industry providers in relation to the delivery of the Secure Data Environment (SDE) Network envisaged by the Data for Research & Development (R&D) programme. Secure Data Environments are data storage, access, and analysis platforms, which facilitate high standards of privacy and security of NHS health and social care data when used for research and analysis. Our vision is to have an ecosystem of heterogenous, inter-operable SDE's built on open-standards and open-code (as far as possible), such that vendors and industry providers are encouraged to compete on cost and capability in supporting the creation of a world-leading research service. NHS England wishes to engage with industry on how they can respond to this challenge for the benefit of the NHS and the country. As a future strand of this engagement, the programme would like to explore cost-effective procurement options in the case that multiple SDEs select the same provider to provide a particular capability/service. NHS England would like to hear from technology vendors, service providers and systems integrators who have expertise (or an interest) in supplying capability to SDEs, and/or contributing to an open-source project for a framework for NHS SDEs. All industry providers are invited to attend an initial briefing call via MS Teams with NHS England SDE programme leads on Friday 21st April at 13.30 to 14:15. Following the briefing call, NHS England will host an in-person/ virtual engagement session with industry providers, on Tuesday 2nd May 2023 (time and venue TBC). Action: To receive an invite for the briefing call and engagement session, please register your interest via https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome by 17.00 18th April 2023. An agenda will also be provided for both the 21st of April 2023 and 2nd of May 2023 after registration. NHSE will provide copies of the briefing slides for any supplier unable to attend upon request, via the Health Family Atamis Portal to receive a copy. Following the briefing call and engagement session, there will be a continued period of engagement for providers to help shape the delivery approach and procurement strategy for the SDE network and Subnational SDE Programme. Additional information: This is not a full procurement exercise and NHS E does not in any way commit itself to conducting one now or in the future. This information does not, and will not, form any part of any subsequent contract between the NHS England and any future provider. NHS England may go out to procurement for the Services in the future. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/010135-2023 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 6 Apr 2023 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 3 Apr 2023 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS ENGLAND | | Locality | LEEDS | | Post town | Leeds | | Postcode | LS2 7UE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE4 West Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE42 Leeds | | Local authority | Leeds | | Electoral ward | Little London & Woodhouse | | Westminster constituency | Leeds Central and Headingley | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 72300000 - Data services - 73200000 - Research and development consultancy services ## Release History - 6 Apr 2023 at 11:15 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/010135-2023 ## Notice URLs - https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome - https://www.england.nhs.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
