Description

NHS Shared Business Services Limited (NHS SBS) act in an Agency capacity for and on behalf of its customers (Approved Organisations) - existing and new. These comprise of NHS and Social Care organisations (whether acting individually, or on behalf of, or together as members of any consortia) along with any other public or private sector bodies which NHS SBS authorises to use the resulting Framework.
NHS SBS intends to put in place a Framework Agreement for the provision of Medicines Management Prescribing Decision Support Systems to be used by NHS SBS Approved Organisations.
Our Approved Organisation list can be found on:

https://sbs.nhs.uk/proc-framework-agreements-support
This framework will allow NHS Organisations and other Approved Organisations to:
• access systems for computerised support to increase the effectiveness, safety, and cost effectiveness of prescribing in general practices.

• access healthcare decision intelligence tools to make more informed, evidence-based decisions when prescribing medicines by providing them with insights and recommendations based on data and analytics for general practices, hospitals, and community care.
We are committed to working with suppliers who are dedicated to Sustainability and Social Value and there will be a significant weighting on these elements in the tender.
The new Framework, subject to review and change, is expected to go live shortly after the expiry of the existing Framework Agreement SBS/19/AB/WAS/9389 on 30/09/2023
