Summary of the contracting process

The NHS England National Commercial and Procurement Hub, in collaboration with NHS Black Country ICB, has concluded the award stage of a public procurement process for General Practice Appointment Booking Services in the West Midlands. The procurement, classified under the software package and information systems industry category, was necessary to replace the existing contract, which expired on 30th June 2024. As of 7th October 2024, the contract was fully awarded to Accurx Limited for an initial period of 17 months (starting 1st July 2024) with an optional 4-month extension, amounting to £518,718.60. The procurement operation followed a selective method via a call-off from the CCS G-Cloud 13 Framework (RM1557.13) Lot 2: Cloud software.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in cloud-based software solutions, particularly those capable of integrating with GP clinical systems. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly well-suited to compete for such tenders, given the requirements for modernising general practice through digital pathways. With a substantial contract value and scope for extensions, this procurement offers firms the potential to establish or expand their foothold in the healthcare technology sector, especially within the NHS framework.
