Framework Agreement Description

The Healthcare Clinical Information Systems Framework Agreement provides a compliant route to access various core healthcare clinical information systems. This framework agreement includes, but is not limited to the following services; theatre systems, maternity systems, integrated emergency care systems, electronic prescribing and child health clinical systems. This framework for healthcare clinical information systems provides Trusts with the option to choose from guidance, light touch, or full support to help with implementation.

Our current framework for Healthcare Clinical Information Systems expires on 15 August 2022. We are currently actively procuring a replacement framework but regrettably it will be not live before the current framework expires, therefore there will be a gap in commercial cover. We urge buyers and suppliers to pay careful attention to this in relation to any current procurement activity. Please contact us if you would like to discuss your options.
