## Description
Market Engagement Phase 1 
The members of the South-East (SE) NHS Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) Collaboration (in their current form) are: 
NHS Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire West ICB 
NHS Frimley ICB 
NHS Kent and Medway ICB 
NHS Hampshire and Isle of Wight ICB 
NHS Surrey Heartlands ICB 
NHS Sussex ICB 
For the purpose of this Market Engagement advert NHS Sussex ICB is the lead Authority (subject to potential future change). The NHS England National Commercial and Procurement Hub is issuing this Market Engagement notice on behalf of the lead Authority. 
Due to national changes within the NHS the landscape of the ICBs within the SE are due to change.  This is likely to result in a reduction in the number of SE ICBs with also potential reduction of staffing within the ICBs, but it is not anticipated that GPIT staff will reduce. GPIT staffing is more likely to have a year-on-year increase. 
The SE NHS ICBs are issuing this Market Engagement notice to commence the engagement with interested Suppliers to respond to and provide the intelligence to inform the strategy development around the future of ensuring ICBs and GPs have the ongoing necessary IT support and services. 
The intention is for SE NHS ICBs to: 
- Better understand the composition and characteristics of the market 
- Explore mitigations to the potential (downside) risks and challenges early should the region undertake a procurement process 
- Raise market awareness and stimulate interest in a potential future procurement process 
- Stimulate competition and collaboration in the market to ensure the best possible value for money whilst also supporting sustainability within the market 
- Explore levels and trends in price, quality and choice and the impact of effective competition on the market 
 As part of the Phase 1 Market Engagement Suppliers are requested to express an interest, complete a MS Forms questionnaire and an associated excel requirements document. 
 Submissions of these documents is 5pm on 15th December 2025.

Background and further details:
