## Summary

The NHS Business Services Authority is planning a procurement process to develop an API solution aimed at verifying organisational structures within the Adult Social Care sector. The tender, titled "Adult Social Care - Organisation Checking API Solution," falls under the services category, specifically focusing on IT software packages and information systems. The procurement is in the planning stage, with a preliminary market engagement notice published on 11th February 2026, indicating a response deadline of 25th February 2026. The project, located in Newcastle upon Tyne, seeks to address the structural mapping challenges within the existing LDSS framework. This initiative is crucial for mapping parent organisations to subsidiary entities to ensure efficiency and fraud prevention in funding distribution.

This tender presents significant opportunities for IT service providers specialising in consulting, software development, and support systems. Companies experienced in developing robust API solutions and integrating complex data systems would be well-suited to compete. As the procurement method is designed to cater to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), the project can provide business growth prospects by enabling firms to develop solutions for high-stake NHS systems. Moreover, the contract period from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027 ensures a long-term collaboration opportunity to become a key player in supporting UK health and social care infrastructure advancements.

## Notice

NHS BSA require an API solution that allows us to check whether organisations are linked via parent and child structure.

### Planning Information

The NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA) is an Arm’s Length Body of the Department of Health and Social Care, responsible for providing platforms and delivering services that support the priorities of the NHS, Government and local health economies. Over £100 billion of NHS spend flows through our systems annually.
Our purpose is to deliver business service excellence to the NHS to help people live longer, healthier lives. Our vision is to be the provider of national, at scale business services for the health and social care system, transforming and delivering these services to maximise efficiency and meet customer expectations.
The Adult Social Care (ASC) Learning and Development Support Scheme (LDSS) provides funding to help the non-regulated adult social care workforce complete training courses and qualifications.
It gives organisations and staff in the adult social care sector the opportunity to gain recognition for existing expertise and develop new skills and specialisms and allows ASC employers to claim towards costs they have incurred when putting their staff on certain courses and qualifications.
The NHS BSA administer the LDSS on behalf of the Department of Health and Social Care. Adult social care providers can claim for funding on behalf of employees through our online claims service.
Background and high-level requirements:
The NHS BSA and DHSC are seeking an improved way for the LDSS Service to map parent organisations to child (subsidiary) organisations within the Adult Social Care sector, making it easier to apply the cap per parent organisation, track reimbursement accurately and reduce fraud risk. DHSC has requested that the parent and child structure to be implemented on LDSS follows the definition in section 1162 of the Companies Act 2006 (Companies Act 2006, Section 1162).
Each organisation is responsible for entering their own data via the ASC Workforce Data Set (WDS) system and allows for a parent-child account structure managed by Skills for Care (SfC), but this is not applied in the Companies House legal definition required for LDSS funding. Therefore, when the data is transferred from SfC we have no way of seeing if organisations are related and applying the cap. 
In order to achieve this, once an organisation has entered their details we want to be able to run an automatic check via an API to pull back the organisations that are legal subsidiaries or be able to identify if they are a subsidiary of a parent organisation, one that is already registered or not. Currently we will need to run approximately 1,000 – 2,000 organisations per year via the API to check their company details.
