Set up as a single lot framework, it covers all EPR, PAS, Radiology, Pathology, Shared Care Record, Pharmacy, Patient Support and Specialist Clinical Solutions (including all related Ai needs) that encompasses a catalogue approach allowing suppliers to add products through the framework term. All products covered by this framework must meet a standard set of core functional compliance requirements. To onboard the framework, suppliers are tested to an FVRA gold level standard.

  • The framework offers maximum flexibility for supplier innovation, growth, and partnerships across the NHS and public sector.
  • Suppliers will have compliant pathways to approach LPP and add new products to their framework portfolio, covering all clinical digital solutions within the framework's scope.
  • The framework enables direct award from a list price catalogue, including options for adding new modules, additional licenses, and renewals for existing software.
  • This catalogue-based direct award mechanism supports swift and efficient transformation, aiding standardization of care pathways across Integrated Care Systems (ICS) while ensuring best value. Through the Example Local Requirements Tool, suppliers can conduct soft market testing, resulting in a transparent, nationally-priced catalogue that meets local requirements. Best value can also be achieved via further competition where needed
