Nine months late, NHS tech deal gets an extra 1B
Briefly

The insight provided through our engagement and an increase in spend through the current iteration of the Digital Workplace Solutions framework agreement over the past 12 months is that the replacement one has the potential to see £2.5 billion of spend being directed through it.
The deal — which commits suppliers to pricing in return for indicative spending and ease of procurement — would provide commercial-off-the-shelf software licensing, bespoke software development, and a range of infrastructure equipment and services.
NHS Shared Business Services has published a contract notice for the Digital Workplace Solutions 2 mega-framework, saying it could manage a maximum spend of £2.5 billion in the NHS and other public sector organizations.
The starting pistol for the multibillion-pound procurement was fired 13 months after NHS SBS began a market engagement with tech suppliers interested in the framework.
