## Summary

The procurement process involves NHS Digital as the buying organisation, awarding a contract titled "EPS / GP Connect Enablement in Community" in the software package and information systems industry. The contract, valued at £193,495, is a COVID response initiative enabling Electronic Prescription Service (EPS) and GP Connect across up to 48 community organisations. The contract was initiated on 1 June 2020, with an end date of 23 April 2021, and it followed a selective procurement method through a call-off from the GPIT Futures Framework Agreement. The tender period concluded on 18 May 2020.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those in the software and IT services sector, to support the NHS in enhancing healthcare delivery in communities. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be particularly well-suited to explore this opportunity, as the contract is open to suppliers with the capability to integrate with existing healthcare systems, specifically those aligned with EMIS Community products. Engaging in similar future initiatives could help such businesses expand their market presence within the public sector.

## Notice

A direct award to EMIS was made under the Lot 2 GPIT Futures Framework Agreement. The services comprise enablement of EPS and GP Connect in up to 48 community organisations (i.e. those using the EMIS Community product). This is a COVID response contract with an expiry date of 23 April 2021 which can only be supplied by EMIS as it relates to a change to their existing contracted EMIS Community system. The contract ibligates the supplier to enact the changes via their existing contracts with the service recipient organisations.
