Coverage: 859 active published awards; 13 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments.

Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

What is being bought
NHS England invites suppliers to take part in an engagement on its plans to introduce a market into Digital Primary Care within NHS England’s Transformation Directorate. This will succeed the GP IT Futures Framework which has now expired. NHSE is looking to engage the market on supply of Digital Primary Care solutions that will be procured by Integrated Care Boards & approved agencies across the UK, ensuring streamlined access to innovative digital solutions. These solutions will be reflective of healthcare professionals' needs, as shared with NHSE through research & user engagement. They will augment those solutions in development or already assured for marketing on the DSIC Catalogue. Market engagement will explore current market capacity across a range of patient-facing, clinical & administrative capabilities; & the extent to which the market could assist with further development of those capabilities through research & innovation.
