## Summary

The North East London NHS Foundation Trust is in the planning stage of procuring an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) to enhance its recruitment processes. This initiative, titled "Applicant Tracking System (ATS) - RFI," falls under the services industry category, specifically targeting time accounting or human resources software packages and software supply services. The Trust is located in Essex, United Kingdom, with the procurement aimed at modernising and making the recruitment process more efficient. The current stage involves a Request for Information (RFI) to gather market insights, with a scheduled deadline for engagement on 26th November 2025. Interested parties should note the communication plan anticipates a future notice by 17th December 2025.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in cloud-based software solutions, particularly those focused on human resources. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, given the suitability criteria. The contract value is estimated at up to £486,000, and the contracting period is set from April 2026 to March 2028, with possible extensions until March 2029. Engaging in this procurement process allows suppliers to potentially expand their client base within the public healthcare sector, aligning with the Trust’s objectives for recruitment transformation. Businesses that can provide a secure, state-of-the-art, and adaptable ATS will be well-positioned to benefit from this opportunity.
