Description

Hertfordshire County Council is currently out to procurement for the Provision of Maintenance of NHS Health Checks Software A PME exercise was carried out in March 2025 for a joint smoking and health check procurement. Notice identifier: 2025/S 000-011121. It was later agreed to carry out two separate procurements. The Contract has not been split into lots as the Council is purchasing one solution to be managed by one central team, the service purchased will fulfil all our requirements and it is not reasonably practicable for it to be supplied by more than one Supplier. The Council will procure this contract using the Competitive Flexible Procedure as defined in the Procurement Act 2023, which will allow us to run a multistage procurement process, the process will be as follows: Stage 1 - Tenderers will complete the Response Document (including the pricing schedule) and submit in line with the deadlines outlined in section 2 of the Instructions to tenderers document. Stage 1 is split into 3 parts. All Tenderers are required to pass Part 1 and Part 2 (bid forms 1 – 8) before proceeding to be evaluated and moderated at Part 3 – Award Criteria. Stage 2 - The top three Tenderers based on scores from Bid Forms 9 to 11 (Part 3 - Award) will advance to Stage 2, where they will be invited to demonstrate their system (bid form 12). Tenderers should be aware that the Council may raise clarifications based on your quality response before the top scoring Tenderers are invited to Stage 2. Once Stage 2 is completed, the Council will collate all scores for stages 1 and 2 and the Council will award the Contract to the highest scoring organisation in terms of the stated award criteria. Full details of the requirement and context of the procurement can be found in the Service Specification contained within the Contract Document. Organisations wishing to take part in this project are invited to 'express an interest' and also 'opt in' which will give access to the full procurement documents in the e-tendering system. To be considered as a Tenderer you must complete and submit a Tender by the deadline of 12 noon on the 28th November 2025 Please allow sufficient time to make your return, as Tender submissions cannot be uploaded and submitted after this return deadline. Please ensure that where possible documents are uploaded as a PDF and that file names are succinct. Any questions relating to this procurement must be made via correspondence on the website, in accordance with the procurement documents, and can be addressed to the main contact as shown in the details above. Tenderers should be aware that due to the nature of the Services provided, any Contract formed as a result of this procurement process shall be executed as a deed.
