The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) has awarded a contract for the project titled "Talk to FRANK website technical development" involving IT services. The procurement method used was selective, with a contract period running from April 2, 2024, to April 1, 2026. The tender closed on January 29, 2024, with SOPRA STERIA LIMITED winning the contract. The project is based in Leeds, United Kingdom, with DHSC as the buying organization.

This opportunity is suitable for businesses providing IT services, consulting, software development, and internet support. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with digital delivery capabilities are well-suited to compete in this selective tender.

## Notice

DHSC/NHSE are looking at how to further adapt existing approaches to digital and technology standards (Technology-Code-of-Practice and service standard) for local health and social care organisations, in a proportionate, supportive way. We will look to undertake a series of work packages to better understand, prototype and then implement solutions. Additionally to this, we may at times require access to digital delivery capabilities to augment our existing delivery capacity in the form of multidisciplinary teams containing product, delivery and user centred design.
