## Summary

NHS Central East Integrated Care Board is planning to procure a digital continuing healthcare (CHC) case and financial management system. The requirement covers medical software and related information technology services, including software development, implementation, support and consultancy. The system is intended to support the ICB’s CHC operations by managing cases and associated financial activity digitally. The buying organisation is NHS Central East Integrated Care Board, based in Ely. The planned service would be delivered for the Central East ICB area. This is a service procurement rather than a purchase of physical equipment or construction works. The requirement is described as a single package, covering the complete digital case and financial management system rather than separate published service areas.

This procurement is at the planning stage and the buyer is seeking market feedback to test its assumptions and proposed service requirements; it is not yet an invitation to tender. The buyer expects to publish the next notice by 30 October 2026. It has scheduled market engagement, with interested organisations asked to return a completed market engagement questionnaire through the Atamis e-tendering portal by 12 noon on 2 October 2026. The draft service specification and supporting documents are available through that project. The estimated value is £850,000 excluding VAT, or £1,020,000 including VAT. The planned contract period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2034, with renewal provisions allowing the arrangement to run until 31 March 2037. The single planned lot is identified as suitable for SMEs.

The work is likely to suit suppliers that provide healthcare case-management platforms, medical software or integrated financial management systems, particularly those able to configure and support systems for NHS or other complex public-sector environments. Relevant strengths include secure handling of sensitive health and financial information, workflow and case-record management, financial controls, reporting, data migration, system integration, user training and continuing technical support. Software developers, specialist healthcare IT providers, implementation partners and organisations offering consultancy alongside a configurable product may all be well placed to prepare. The buyer is specifically looking for feedback on its draft service specification, so potential suppliers can help shape the requirement by testing whether the proposed system functions, service model and supporting documentation are practical. The planned lot is stated to be suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.
