Tender · NHS — Patient feedback platform · £180k · closes 28 days
Why
- Two prior NHS Patient Experience wins in your library
- Contract size matches your typical range
- Cyber Essentials Plus needed — confirm before bidding
Multi-tender comparison
Three NHS digital-services tenders, ranked side-by-side.
| Tender | Fit | Value | Effort | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Patient feedback platform | 8.2 | High | Mid | 1st |
| Workforce e-rostering | 6.4 | High | High | 2nd |
| Asset tracking pilot | 3.1 | Low | Mid | Skip |
Recommended order: Patient feedback first — strongest fit and lowest delivery risk. Workforce e-rostering only if capacity allows; asset tracking is outside your usual delivery pattern.

FAQ
Pricing questions
Are there any per-seat charges?
No. £365 / year + VAT covers the workspace and up to five team members. Departments and roles are configurable per member.
How often is the tender data refreshed?
Three times a day. We refresh the full set of UK public-sector notices — every value tier, every devolved nation — and the EU/EEA notices for exporters, then run saved-search, deadline-reminder and company-tracking dispatchers immediately after each refresh so your alerts land within minutes of new tenders going live.
Can I track bids end-to-end?
Yes. The bid pipeline is a 6-stage kanban (Interested → Pursuing → In review → Submitted → Won / Lost) with drag-and-drop, assigned team members, a deliverables checklist, attached documents, threaded comments, reviewer sign-off, win/loss reason tracking and per-bid EOI fields (deadline, sent date, shortlist outcome). One click on any tender starts a bid pre-filled with that tender's metadata. The pipeline page also shows a headline dashboard — win rate, open pipeline value, value won YTD, average days to decision and a bids-per-quarter chart — computed from your own bids, no setup required.
What's the contract length?
Annual, but you can cancel at any time before renewal. No multi-year lock-in.
Can I get an invoice for accounting?
Yes — a VAT invoice is issued when you subscribe. Request a purchase-order route from billing@datascene-tenders.co.uk.
Do you cover above-threshold (high-value) notices?
Yes — high-value frameworks and below-threshold contracts are both covered, and you can filter by value tier on the browse page to scope to either.
Does the membership include spend analytics?
Yes — the analytics dashboard aggregates every contract-award notice we've ingested into top-buyers / top-suppliers / category league tables plus a 12-month trend chart, all filterable by region, CPV branch, buyer, supplier and SME flag. Anonymous visitors can preview an example version; live numbers are members-only.
Is my data secure?
Documents are encrypted at rest with AES-256. Webhook URLs, signing secrets, 2FA shared secrets and SSO client secrets are encrypted with a separate application-managed key. Outbound webhook payloads are signed with HMAC-SHA-256. Sessions are HttpOnly + SameSite=Lax. Passwords are bcrypt-hashed at cost 12. Two-factor authentication (TOTP, free) is one click away in Account → Two-factor auth. OIDC single sign-on — Okta, Entra ID, Google Workspace or any OpenID Connect IdP — is configured at Team → SSO; setup walkthrough on the SSO help page. Every workspace action is captured in the activity log with one-click CSV / email export for compliance review.
