The contract is classified under the "Custom software development services" industry category and falls under a selective procurement method via a call-off from a framework agreement.

The last tender period was concluded on 24 May 2021, while the award notice was published on 24 May 2022.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those experienced in software development and IT service management, to engage with NHS Digital's operations. Companies specialising in DevOps processes, incident management, and service-level agreements would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. The robust funding for ongoing maintenance and development also indicates a preference for suppliers with substantial capability to support large-scale, continuous service operations while adhering to strict availability requirements.

## Notice

This call-off contract is for the day-to-day operational management and development of the NHS Digital Identity & Access Management (IAM) Platform which is used across a range of NHS services to ensure that only authorised individuals (using a Role Based Access Control model) can access patient related and other services.
