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.
