Child Health Information Services - North East and Cumbria and Yorkshire and Humber - NHSE1048 (Contract Ref: C430433)
North of England Commissioning Support (NECS) is a commissioning support service working for and on behalf of NHS England as a Procurement delivery partner to manage the procurement of the Child Health Information Services (CHIS) across the North East and Yorkshire and Cumbria.
The Contracting Authority undertook an Open Procedure and the awarding of this contract is subject to the Procurement Act 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Provider Selection Regime 2023 and/ or Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award.
The primary aim of CHIS is to establish and manage comprehensive child health record records. These are used to support organisations that provide specified public health interventions in ensuring that all children are offered the full range public health interventions.
The opportunity was offered to the market as a single lot as it was not suitable or not applicable for lotting.
The contract term is for an initial period of 5 years commencing on 01 April 2027, with an option to extend for a further 2 years at the discretion of the Contracting Authority and Governance, subject to satisfactory contractual and financial performance.
