Summary of the contracting process

The Crown Commercial Service (CCS) is overseeing the "Digital Capability for Health" procurement process, which aims to provide digital outcomes and supporting services for NHS Digital and other public sector health and social care bodies within the United Kingdom. The tender, classified under CPV code 72000000 (IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support), has a procurement method of open procedure above the threshold. Originally, the contract period spanned from 18 January 2021 to 17 July 2025, but it has recently been extended by six months to 17 July 2025, due to unforeseen circumstances requiring flexibility for ongoing NHS projects. The framework encompasses services such as DevOps, digital definition, build and transition, end-to-end development, and data management. The total contract value is £800 million (GBP), with the buying organisation based in Liverpool, England.

This tender provides a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly SMEs, involved in the healthcare IT sector, to collaborate with key public sector bodies and contribute to critical digital transformation projects. The scope of services required presents varied opportunities for companies specialising in DevOps, software development, digital consulting, and data management. Being an open procedure, it enables competitive participation, promoting inclusivity for small and medium-sized enterprises. Companies looking to expand their portfolio in public health technology services will find this framework particularly beneficial for broadening their reach and reinforcing their capabilities through substantial engagements with the NHS and other public sector entities.
