AIRE LOGIC LIMITED has been contracted to execute this project. The industry category pertains to Custom Software Development Services. The services will be delivered to multiple locations, including the United Kingdom, and the contract runs from 30th March 2023 to 29th March 2027.

This tender offers growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs specialising in IT consulting, software development, and related services. By transitioning key components of the existing infrastructure to cloud-based microservices, businesses with cloud computing, agile, and microservices expertise will find this contract appealing. The scope for increased functional adaptability positions this procurement as an ideal pursuit for companies aiming to expand their portfolio in public sector digital transformation projects, potentially leading to further opportunities within the NHS and related public healthcare institutions. ## Notice AWARD Provision of the establishment of a new, more open platform which will migrate domains of the current Spine Core Platform such as Demographics into separate microservices on the cloud and also allow a greater rate of change on functionality.
