How we have worked with trusts

Below are just a few NHS organisations who we have worked with on recent projects.

• Immersive Technology and Simulation Dynamic Purchasing System – working with NHS England

To fill a gap in the market, NHS LPP created a new Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) working with the education area at NHS England to create, implement and run a DPS to enable a complaint route to market for simulation-based training. The DPS is NHS CCF Accredited.

• National LIMS specification and contract templates packs – working with NHS England

NHS LPP engaged with the national LIMS network to create a standard template for specifications and also standard tender packs to be used when procuring from NHS CCF accredited frameworks. 

• Procurement of an order comms solution and further competition for procurement of a referral and booking management system – working with North East and North Cumbria (NENC) NHS ICS

NHS LPP conducted a further competition for a hosting solution through the NHS LPP Clinical Digital Solutions framework. This initiative aimed to implement an ICS-wide order communications solution designed to enhance efficiency, capacity, and locality, benefiting both patients and staff.

Additionally, the team ran a separate competition under the same framework to implement an ICS-wide integration engine platform. This platform is designed to meet the specific objectives and requirements of the NENC, functioning seamlessly with other components of the overall referral and booking management system.

• Procurement of a data migration partner – working with the NHS Acute Hospital Alliance

NHS LPP ran a further completion with the NHS Acute Alliance to procure their data migration and archiving partner under NHS LPP’s One London LCRE Dynamic Purchasing System.  

• Further competition for procurement of an IT Managed Services Partner – working with West Hertfordshire NHS Trust

NHS LPP ran a further competition to outsource all of West Hertfordshire NHS Trust IT services across three sites to continue to support the continued evolution of the digital maturity journey.
