Tender description

NHS England is undertaking preliminary market engagement to understand how the supplier market could support the future delivery of a Health and Social Care (H&SC) Cyber Supplier and Third Party Risk Management capability. Our ambition is to develop a national capability, available to all health and social care organisations, that delivers a more consistent and scalable approach to managing cyber risk associated with third-party suppliers across health and social care. As part of this work, NHS England is developing a H&SC Cyber Third Party Risk Management Standard, against which relevant suppliers are expected to be assessed. This market engagement will begin with a supplier webinar, followed by a Request for Information (RFI). It gives suppliers an opportunity to help shape this new national capability and the supporting assessment standard. Insights gathered from this exercise will inform a potential procurement process planned for early to mid-2027. Please note, any figures quoted are early-stage indications only.

About the buyer

NHS England runs the NHS in England, and buys as a central healthcare organisation with its own team of procurement professionals. Much of this procurement flows through framework agreements and the Crown Commercial Service. Seven regional teams support the commissioning of healthcare services across the country. The central commercial function that develops procurement strategy for the whole NHS sits here.

Clinical services are commissioned directly or through the Provider Selection Regime.

Over the past 5 years, most of NHS England's contract awards have been in education and training, health and social work, and IT services.
