    Brief

    NHS England is establishing an open framework to procure Digital Primary Care General Practice Information Technology (GPIT) solutions. This planned procurement notice provides advance market visibility ahead of the formal tender, expected in November 2026, with framework go-live targeted for Q3 2027. The framework will be structured across three lots: Lot 1 covers Foundation Electronic Patient Record (EPR) solutions including appointments management, consultation management, patient information, prescribing, referral management, and resource management; Lot 2 covers Clinical and Operational Support Solutions including 27 capabilities such as care plans, clinical decision support, population health management, telecare, and video consultations; Lot 3 offers research and development opportunities for suppliers awarded places on Lots 1 or 2. Key features include: multiple suppliers can be appointed to each lot; the same suppliers can work across different lots; the framework will reopen at planned intervals; and successful suppliers on Lots 1 or 2 will be auto-enrolled onto Lot 3 unless they opt out. Call-off contracts will be awarded by Integrated Care Boards and general practices through direct award or competitive procedures. The framework aims to provide a simplified route to market for innovative GPIT solutions while delivering value for money for the NHS, supporting the NHS 10 Year Health Plan and national digital strategy. Market participation is open to SMEs, consortia, and subcontractors (subject to conditions). All suppliers must register on the Central Digital Platform. This is a planned procurement notice only and is not a formal call for competition; dates and details are indicative and subject to change.
