The PFI arrangements for the ICT network ends in January 2019 and the purpose of the proposed tendering process is to put in place new contractual arrangements. A stable and well-managed network is paramount in the delivery of high quality care to our patients and to maintaining UHB's reputation as a leader in technology.
