Retention, storage and subsequent deletion of data relating to 119 VBS

NHS England, a central government public authority based in London, has completed a procurement process titled "Retention, storage and subsequent deletion of data relating to 119 VBS," focusing on health services. The procurement, identified under the process ID C363258, was carried out using a direct method that did not involve competition due to being below the threshold. This service supports the management of data linked to the COVID-19 pandemic status.

The related contract was awarded on 16th May 2025 to Teleperformance Limited, a large supplier located in Bristol, and it will run from 19th May 2025 to 31st March 2026. The contract has a value of £54,378.96 (net) and £65,254.75 (gross). This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in data management and storage solutions, especially those with expertise in handling sensitive health-related data.

Although the procurement method chosen was direct, possibly limiting broader competition, companies within the healthcare tech and data services industries might look to NHS England's future requirements in similar domains. Organisations akin to Teleperformance Limited, with substantial capacity and expertise in large-scale data projects, are well-positioned to participate in such opportunities, potentially enhancing their profiles and expanding market engagement within the public sector.
