The process involves the consolidation of current verification and identity check contracts. Located in London, the procurement is at the planning stage, and suppliers have been invited to participate in a preliminary market engagement exercise. The deadline for responses has been set for 25th July 2025, following an engagement document release on 15th July 2025. This contract is valued at £16.5 million and is planned to start on 1st October 2026, with a completion date of 30th September 2030. The procurement is to be conducted through an open-procedure, targeting service providers who can enhance the NHS Login system for secure user verification and authentication. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in IT consulting, software development, and identity solutions to expand their influence in the public sector, particularly in the health and social care industries. The contract’s focus on streamlining digital service access through robust verification creates potential for innovative SMEs to offer scalable solutions that can enhance the NHS's digital infrastructure. With the suitability for SMEs clearly indicated, this procurement exercise could foster growth for smaller companies looking to establish or strengthen their foothold within public contracts. ## Notice This Pre-Procurement Exercise is being run to support the consolidation of the existing verification and identity check contracts to be procured through an open-procedure. The objective of NHS login is to simplify the adoption of digital tools and services that require secure verification and authentication, by providing a simple, consistent, and trusted mechanism for users to access digital services in health and social care. NHS login ensures users are correctly matched to their NHS record (via NHS number or appropriate record identifier) so they can gain access to the service they require. Users require identity verification to an assurance level that is appropriate to the service they are trying to access. A full description of the requirements for the ID Verification Service and Liveness and Likeness Service can be access in the Request for Information Documents, linked to this Notice. ### Planning Information Suppliers interested in this opportunity are requested to complete two RFI documents related to the Identification Verification Service and Liveness and Likeness Service supporting NHS Login.
