NHS England has signed a near-£80m two-year deal for a specialist supplier to support its range of online services dedicated to preventative healthcare.
The contract with Leeds-based consultancy Aire Logic, which comes into effect today, represents the appointment of a national “digital delivery partner… to support objectives within the Digital Prevention Services portfolio,” according to a freshly published commercial notice.
