## Summary

NHS Shared Business Services Limited intends to establish a Population Health Management framework for NHS and social care organisations, other approved public sector bodies and authorised private sector users. It will cover software solutions that analyse and manage health data from multiple sources to improve healthcare delivery, decision-making, prevention, efficiency and action on health inequalities and wider social determinants. The planned structure has three lots: digital population health management solutions; consultancy and support; and combined solutions providing bundled services or comprehensive workflows. Across the framework, suppliers will provide software licences or subscriptions, implementation, configuration and integration, training, onboarding, change management, maintenance, updates, technical support, service levels and performance reporting. Delivery is intended across the United Kingdom, Guernsey, the Isle of Man and Jersey.

This procurement is at the planning stage and is currently a preliminary market engagement exercise, not an invitation to tender. NHS SBS expects to use the Procurement Act 2023 and establish a framework agreement. It is seeking market views on capability, innovation, interoperability, pricing, barriers to entry, lotting and service specifications. Participation may involve a questionnaire, virtual briefing and optional one-to-one discussions; responses will inform the final specification, procurement strategy and route to market and will not form part of later evaluation. Suppliers are invited to submit the market-engagement questionnaire through SAP Ariba by 12 noon GMT on 7 October 2026. The anticipated framework period is 14 August 2028 to 13 August 2032. Its estimated value is £100 million excluding VAT, or £120 million including VAT.

The work will suit established population health technology providers, healthcare data and clinical information specialists, software developers, implementation partners, technical support providers and consultancies advising NHS, public health, social care or local government organisations. Lot 1 favours scalable platforms for whole or large populations, drawing data from multiple organisations and offering broad functionality, horizontal integration and potentially specialist features. Lot 2 suits firms providing strategic advice, implementation support and expertise in areas such as risk stratification, social prescribing, medicines use and policy impacts including housing, transport, employment and the environment. Lot 3 suits providers able to deliver integrated end-to-end solutions. Relevant preparation includes interoperability, data integration, configuration, training, change management, service levels and performance reporting. NHS SBS also highlights sustainability and social value, and SAP Ariba registration requires a valid DUNS number.
