Summary of the contracting process

NHS England initiated a tender for the provision of a Bi-Directional Interface with ESR_Cohort Portal. The procurement process has been completed, and the contract was awarded to COHORT SOFTWARE LTD. The tender falls under the services category in the IT services industry. The objective is to build an interface specification and infrastructure for Occupational Health data exchange between ESR and NHS Trusts, with funding provided by NHS England. The procurement method was a limited procedure without prior publication, with a focus on additional IT work required for the Digital Staff Passport initiative.

This tender by NHS England presents business growth opportunities for IT service providers specialising in consulting, software development, and Internet support. Companies capable of efficiently delivering digital solutions for healthcare organisations, particularly those experienced in interoperable IT systems and bi-directional interfaces, would be well-suited to compete. Given the emphasis on remote work and considerations for Covid restrictions, businesses with remote service capabilities and a track record in national healthcare projects could leverage this opportunity to expand their presence in the healthcare IT sector.
