Summary of the contracting process

NHS Digital has completed a tender for "Platforms - Strategic and Operational Support (Datashed)", valued at £70,000. This contract falls under the IT services category, specifically focused on consulting, software development, and internet support. The tender process followed a direct procurement method through a single tender action, due to being below the threshold. The contract period commenced on 11 October 2021 and is set to conclude on 31 October 2022. The delivery addresses cover a broad range including the UK and British Overseas Territories, including specific locations like Leeds, where NHS Digital is headquartered.
