NHS England requires a Supplier for the provision of Federated Data Platform and Associated Services (FDP-AS). The data platform will be owned and controlled by the NHS to unlock the power of NHS data to understand patterns, solve problems, plan services for local populations and ultimately transform the health and care of the people they serve.It is anticipated that the 5-year contract value will be up to £360,000,000. There will be an additional option to extend by 12 +12 months with a total estimated value of up to £480,000,000 over the contract period.

Services will be provided under the contract for FDP-AS to NHS bodies (as defined in the National Health Service Act 2006) and other providers of NHS-funded services (in relation to the provision of those services), as well as NHS England.The data platform will be a cloud-based Software as a Service (Saas) Solution, which will enable the use and sharing of data using a safe and secure environment.

Local Trusts and ICS’s will have the autonomy to use the data platform to address their own key challenges and priorities.

The key features of this requirement are: 1. Platform: We are buying a platform that will be run as a SaaS with some key Requirements which will have to be met2. Service: The Successful Supplier will need to meet our robust performance measures and governance standards.3. Customer base: FDP-AS will be delivered to NHS England and other NHS Bodies.
