The engagement window for expressing interest concludes on 7th September 2018. This procurement is classified under the CPV code 48000000, which pertains to software packages and information systems, and it invites participation from suppliers across the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, Europe, and beyond. This opportunity presents significant potential for business growth, particularly for companies specialising in data analytics software and related services. Firms that offer capabilities in data integration, cleansing, visualisation, and management, along with expertise in statistical modelling and large dataset analysis, would be particularly well-suited to compete. The NHS Counter Fraud Authority is keen to explore market interest and may subsequently initiate a formal procurement process based on the feedback received during this engagement phase. ## Notice This is a market engagement exercise and is not a tender exercise.
