Tender description

The Data Access Project (DAP) is being undertaken to address significant challenges in adult social care (ASC) related to fragmented, hard-to-access data. Currently, care providers and local authorities spend considerable time submitting data but do not feel they get sufficient value in return. A lack of a single, reliable data source impairs their ability to make informed decisions, hampers innovation, and constrains efforts to improve outcomes for people who draw on care services. GASCD responds to these challenges.

About the buyer

The Department of Health and Social Care sets health and social care policy for England, and buys as a central healthcare organisation through contracts tiered by value. Suppliers register on Atamis, the department's e-tendering portal, to see live opportunities. Larger contracts also appear on Find a Tender once government thresholds are passed. Much of this procurement flows through framework agreements and the Crown Commercial Service. Every contract carries a 30-day payment term under the Procurement Act 2023.

UK health spending has nearly quadrupled to £241.8bn in 2024/25, £20bn up on the year before. £140.6bn of that went to procurement, the biggest sector of UK public spending and the fastest-growing.

Over the past 5 years, most of the Department of Health and Social Care's contract awards have been in business services, IT services and health and social work.
