NHS seeks 30 suppliers for £3bn IT framework


The second iteration of the health service’s Digital Workplace Solutions procurement vehicle will allow NHS organisations to buy a range of computing infrastructure, as well as bespoke and off-the-shelf software

The NHS is seeking to appoint up to 30 suppliers to a multibillion-pound IT framework through which health-service bodies will be able to buy a wide range of hardware and software.

The publication of a contract notice by NHS Shared Business Services (NHS SBS) – a joint venture between the health service and supplier Sopra Steria – marks the opening of bidding on the Digital Workplace Solutions 2 deal. The buying vehicle will feature a single lot and is hoped to come into effect in May 2025.

This is three months before the existing Digital Workplace Solutions engagement expires after reaching the end of a five-year term that began in August 2020.

Its replacement comes with an estimated potential value of £3bn, once VAT is included – marking a fivefold increase on the £600m indicative price tag that was attached to the incumbent arrangement.

Both frameworks are intended to connect NHS bodies – and any other public-sector buyers that wish to use the agreement – with suppliers of core computing hardware infrastructure, as well as both tailored and generic software tools.

The contract notice advises potential bidders that the deal “is proposed to include, without being limited to… commercial off the shelf software licensing, bespoke software development, infrastructure equipment supply, infrastructure support and maintenance, [and] infrastructure management services – [including] equipment [and] software”.

“NHS SBS are seeking to appoint a range of value-add resellers and original equipment manufacturers capable of providing hardware, software and services to approved organisations,” the notice adds. “As part of demonstrating capability, bidders will be required to evidence the accreditations they hold with vendors to ensure the framework delivers maximum value for money. “We are committed to working with suppliers who are dedicated to sustainability and social value and there will be a significant weighting on these elements in the tender.”

Bids for a spot on the framework are open until midday on 7 November. Once submissions have been assessed, NHS SBS will award deals to up to 30 of the highest-scoring suppliers – or potentially more if scores are tied. Procurement records indicate that 32 companies were awarded a spot on the original Digital Workplace Solutions deal in 2020 – although the number of providers appears to have reduced to 27 since then.

    First off I want to say superb blog! I had a quick question that I’d
    like to ask if you don’t mind. I was curious to find out how
    you center yourself and clear your mind before writing. I’ve had trouble clearing my mind in getting my
    thoughts out. I ddo enjoy writing but it just seems
    liike the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally wasted simply just trying to figure out
    how to begin. Any suggestions or tips? Appreciate it! https://ttzhan.com/thread-6063-1-1.html

    I also believe that mesothelioma cancer is a rare form of cancers that is usually found in these previously exposed to asbestos. Cancerous cells form in the mesothelium, which is a safety lining which covers the vast majority of body’s areas. These cells typically form inside lining of the lungs, abdominal area, or the sac that really encircles one’s heart. Thanks for discussing your ideas.

    The NHS’s pursuit of 30 suppliers for a £3bn IT framework highlights a significant digital transformation effort across healthcare. Suppliers will contribute hardware software and cybersecurity solutions. Just like Kevin Hart joggers symbolize comfort and style these IT upgrades aim to deliver seamless efficiency and support within NHS operations.

    Another thing I have noticed is the fact for many people, less-than-perfect credit is the consequence of circumstances over and above their control. As an example they may be really saddled having an illness so they really have higher bills going to collections. It might be due to a job loss or perhaps the inability to go to work. Sometimes separation and divorce can send the money in a downward direction. Many thanks for sharing your notions on this website.
