## Summary

On 22nd May 2025, NHS England, a central government public authority based in London, initiated the planning stage of a tender process for a project titled "Digital Primary Care". This initiative aims to replace the existing GPITF framework with new digital technology categories that enhance primary care services. The project focuses on improving patient engagement, population health management, and reducing workforce burdens through innovative IT solutions available on the Digital Services for Integrated Care Catalogue. The procurement is valued at up to £480 million and is set to commence from 1st April 2026, running through to at least 31st March 2029, with continuation options. The future notice regarding this tender is expected by 29th August 2025, as part of a framework agreement.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in software packages, medical software, IT consulting, and data services. Companies meeting the criteria for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate. Businesses that can provide innovative digital solutions and enhance clinical information systems will find ample opportunities to collaborate within the NHS and its Integrated Care Boards. The framework agreement facilitates smoother market entry and the potential for long-term contracts, making it an enticing proposal for UK-based and international tech firms looking to expand their footprint in the healthcare industry.

## Notice

This is the replacement for the GPITF framework with additional categories of supply within Digital Primary Care. The purpose of DPC is to support primary care to acquire digital technology and data solutions to improve lives of patients & staff, where NHSE: - enhances equitable access to services, helps patients to be better informed and empowered; and improves population health management; - optimises use of digital technology, reduces workforce burdens, and facilitates improvements in retention and wellbeing; - fosters creativity and innovation in Primary Care, improve pathway and workflow efficiency, and delivers value for money. IT solutions are marketed on the Digital Services for Integrated Care (DSIC) Catalogue, an online marketplace for supply and purchase of clinical information systems that meet digital needs in health and social care. This may result in multiple frameworks/Dynamic Markets covering the categories of supply that will allow buyers to purchase from the Catalogue.
