## Summary

The procurement process, managed by NHS England, focused on the "EFM Research Audit" tender, classified under the health services category. This process, situated in London, was conducted using a direct procurement method classified as 'Below threshold - without competition'. The process has moved through to the award stage, with the contract signed on 29th October 2025, spanning from 31st October to 30th November 2025. The procurement aimed to deliver a discovery report to enhance user experience and an accessibility audit for compliance, essential for maintaining and progressing NHS data systems.

This tender presents business growth opportunities, particularly for service-oriented SMEs with expertise in health service compliance and user experience improvements. Companies like NOMENSA LTD, the awarded supplier, will find this project beneficial as it enables them to demonstrate capability in delivering critical services aligned with public sector standards. Businesses specialising in WCAG compliance and government service standards will find these types of contracts highly suitable, allowing them to leverage their skills in a practical, impactful manner.

## Notice

This contract is for two key deliverables: a discovery report to understand user experience and identify areas for improvement, and an accessibility audit to assess compliance with WCAG 2.2 AA standards. This work will ensure compliance with government service standards and support the continuity of critical NHS data collections. These outputs are essential to meet DHSC and TaDA requirements for progressing the wider development business case. Without them, the system risks decommissioning, which would affect multiple national data collections including ERIC, PLACE, Surplus Land, and Defects and Failures.
