## Summary

The NHS Business Services Authority is currently engaged in a public procurement process titled "Insight Cloud Services," focused on the data services industry. This procurement is in the award stage, having completed a limited tender process initiated due to the unique technical requirements of Oracle Corporation's cloud products. The contract, valued at £2.4 million, was signed on 15 February 2022, and it covers the provision of Oracle Universal Credits to ensure continuity of essential NHS systems such as ePACT2 and eDEN over a 24-month period. The service will be delivered to Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, and was established under a memorandum of understanding facilitated by Crown Commercial Services.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in cloud services, particularly those that can provide or integrate Oracle-based solutions. Companies with expertise in data management and cloud computing, especially those with existing relationships or negotiated pricing with Oracle Corporation, would be well-suited to participate in future opportunities. The specific focus on maintaining critical NHS systems suggests a demand for reliable and technically capable providers, making this a valuable avenue for business growth in the healthcare technology sector.
