## Summary

East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust procured a Trac Recruitment System: an applicant tracking and recruitment platform to support the Trust’s recruitment activities. The requirement is categorised as recruitment services and concerns the provision of a suitable software system rather than recruitment agency staff. The buyer is the NHS Foundation Trust based at Colchester District General Hospital in Colchester, serving East Suffolk and North Essex. A supplier working in recruitment technology, applicant tracking software, digital HR systems or related implementation and support services would be relevant. The requirement is focused on a system that can support organisational recruitment processes, so relevant expertise is in configuring, supplying and supporting recruitment platforms for a substantial healthcare employer.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Jobtrain Limited. The contract was signed on 20 August 2026 for £115,000. The award followed a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, using the Government Commercial Agency G-Cloud 14 framework, Lot 2. The buyer stated that the call-off was made from an existing compliant framework and required no further competition. The procurement recorded three bids, and price was the award criterion. The underlying tender was for one lot and is recorded as cancelled, while the award to Jobtrain Limited is active. No contract duration or award decision date is stated in the procurement outcome.

For a supplier assessing future NHS recruitment technology requirements, this award demonstrates demand for a dedicated applicant tracking system within East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust and a contract of meaningful but contained scale. A credible competitor would need a proven recruitment platform, experience supporting end-to-end applicant tracking and the capacity to configure and maintain the system for a large healthcare employer. Familiarity with public-sector framework call-offs, particularly G-Cloud, would be important because this buyer used an established framework route without further competition. Suppliers should also be able to present clear, competitive pricing, as price was the stated basis for the award, alongside dependable implementation and ongoing service support.
