Digital Primary Care Open Framework

PLEASE NOTE - This is not a 'call to action' notice and requires no response to the Authority.
This notice is published in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 as a Planned Procurement Notice (UK3). It provides advance notice that NHS England intends to establish an open framework using the competitive flexible procedure for the future procurement of Digital Primary Care General Practice Information Technology (GPIT) solutions, ahead of the publication of a tender notice.
Digital systems are fundamental to the delivery of modern general practice services. NHS England's Digital Services for Integrated Care (DSIC) programme is improving digital products across care settings to support and enable an integrated care system, working with technology suppliers to deliver a choice of commonly assured, intuitive and innovative products and services. This framework will be key to this, as well as supporting commitments in the NHS 10 Year Health Plan (10YHP), national digital strategy, and the GP Contract’s digital requirements.
For the purposes of this procurement, GPIT encompasses the digital solutions (products and services) that support the commissioning, delivery, administration and continuous improvement of general practice. This includes technologies used by clinicians, administrative staff, patients and commissioners to facilitate access to care, care delivery, clinical decision-making, service integration, population health management and operational efficiency.
The technology used in general practice falls into two groups: core digital capabilities needed to deliver care, including the recording, management and access of patient health information (‘Foundation’ Electronic Patient Record solutions); and broader digital capabilities which provide clinical and operational support solutions to complement, extend or enhance the core digital capabilities (sometimes referred to as ‘Non-Foundation’ solutions).
