NHS SBS tenders for new £1.5B Digital Workplace Solutions contract

NHS Shared Business Services (NHS SBS) has issued a Prior Information Notice (PIN) signalling its intention to start negotiating with suppliers on a Framework Agreement for the provision of Digital Workplace Solutions.

Designed for use by NHS SBS approved organisations, the scope of the intended Framework Agreement is wide and proposes to include, Infrastructure Management Services, Communication (voice & data) Services and Information Systems and Services, to name a few.
