Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Business Services Authority is currently in the planning stage of a market research exercise titled "Market Research Exercise - BI System - Information Analytics," aimed at identifying potential suppliers for a commercial off-the-shelf Data Analytics System. The engagement window for expressing interest concludes on 7th September 2018.
