NHS Federated Data Platform

NHS England is planning to go to the market for a Federated Data Platform (FDP), which will be an essential enabler to transformational improvements across the NHS.

The FDP will be an ecosystem of technologies and services implemented across the NHS in England.

The FDP will be built on five use cases:

1. Population health and person insight
2. Care coordination (ICS)
3. Elective recovery (Trust)
4. Vaccines and immunisation and
5. Supply Chain

It is anticipated that the scope of this procurement will comprise two lots:

1. The FDP itself, with ICS integration and consultancy and communications support for ICS implementation and adoption

2. Privacy-enhancing technology

It is anticipated that this procurement will follow the open procedure, as detailed in regulation 27 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

Planned subsequent procurements exercises will cover a marketplace for applications and training and deployment support.

Interested suppliers are invited to participate in NHS England's pre-market consultation: https://health-family-contract-search.secure.force.com/ProSpend__CS_ContractPage?SearchType=Projects&uid=a078d000000tfAKAAY&searchStr=&sortStr=Recently+Published&page=1&filters=&County=

Please note that this PIN is NOT a call for competition.

NHS England is issuing a Request for Information in relation to the project and accompanying background information which will be made available to suppliers. 'Suppliers' means entities or groups of entities which offer the provision of services on the market.

NHS England intends to hold a supplier briefing session in relation to the project on 13 April 2022. The session is open to suppliers interested in the procurement, subject to registration with NHS England and on confidential terms, by https://www.events.england.nhs.uk/events/federated-data-platform-supplier-briefing-session

Subsequent procurements or other awards of contract in relation to the project may be carried out by contracting authorities other than NHS England. The estimated total value set out above does not necessarily include the value of such procurements or awards.
