What the notice says

This Pre-Market Engagement Exercise is being run to support the procurement and development of the Exposure Management Solution. NHS England (NHSE) held a well-attended market engagement session on 26th November 2025, to support procurement planning for an Exposure Management Solution. After completing a series of initial workshops on our high-level requirements, we would now like to invite interested suppliers to submit voluntary proposals for consideration by our project team. These proposals will not be formally scored, and submission is not a pre-requisite for a future tender submission. However, they will help shape our discovery and subsequent final requirements and procurement approach.

How to bid

  1. Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
  2. Register your organisation on the Central Digital Platform (through Find a Tender) if you have not already. Suppliers need to be registered to take part in procurements under the Procurement Act 2023.
  3. Follow the submission instructions in the notice; it does not name an e-tendering portal.
