This procurement process, managed by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit, falls under the "Software package and information systems" category. The awarded contract, valued at £89,718.72 (excluding VAT) for an initial three-year term, commenced on 31 January 2025, with the possibility of a 12-month extension bringing the total potential contract value to £120,523.13 (excluding VAT). The platform will be utilised across four Primary Care Networks (PCNs) in Slough, along with secondary care providers in the South East region of the United Kingdom.
