## Description

The UK COVID Public Inquiry into the Government's handling of the pandemic \(the 'Pandemic Inquiry'\) commenced in 2022\. HSE requires end-to-end eDiscovery services to be deployed to support HSE's input to the Pandemic Inquiry, in line with Government timescales\. HSE will need to be able to search across its digital estate, identify, collect and preserve information that may be relevant to the Pandemic Inquiry\. This information will then need to be processed, reviewed and analysed before being submitted to the Pandemic Inquiry\. eDiscovery services will need to provide a data, information and file analysis solution to include any licencing, setup and additional extraction or receipt of data from HSE's IT estate together with the continuing compilation and storage of data extract in a UK-hosted cloud service\.
