## Summary

The procurement process involves the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) seeking suppliers for the "NHSX: Digital Social Care Record Systems - DPS." This initiative falls under the administrative healthcare services category, specifically targeting digital solutions to assist adult social care providers. The tender is currently in the planning stage, with applications open until 26th March 2021. The contract is expected to start on 26th March 2021 and will last until 25th March 2023, with a total contract value of £15 million, including a minimum value of £10 million. The procurement method adopted is a selective approach, specifically a restricted procedure due to its value exceeding the threshold.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses that specialise in healthcare software development, data services, and administrative services in the social care sector. Companies equipped with expertise in application programming, data analysis, or digital record-keeping systems will find this an advantageous prospect, especially as the dynamic purchasing system (DPS) is designed to broaden market access for independent sector organisations. Additionally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, indicating a welcoming environment for innovative solutions and new suppliers in the healthcare digital solutions sector.

## Notice

This Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) is for the provision of digital solutions that support care planning and recording by adult social care providers. In addition to functioning as a DPS it will provide a list of assured suppliers for independent sector organisations to use. It is therefore anticipated that the total market opportunity for suppliers as a result of this DPS will be higher than the public sector procurement's that will be conducted through it. A supplier briefing session will be run via video conferencing on 10th March 2021 between 14:00 and 15:00. Joining instructions will be shared closer to the time, with all parties who have expressed an interest on Atamis for this opportunity.
