What the notice says

University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust is seeking to secure consultancy to advice on the appropriate preservation of digital and other evidence in support of investigations at the Trust for external scrutiny. To ensure compliance with legal, regulatory, and NHS standards, the Trust seeks a qualified Digital Forensic Consultancy to provide expert advice and operational support. The aim is to ensure that all evidence can be preserved in a technical environment that can be accessed over long periods of time i.e. over 10 years. During this period the integrity of data must be retained, even when technical environments need to be updated. The data needs to be legally admissible at whatever point this becomes necessary.
