Foreword

The Foundation-class EPR Solutions Framework intends to provide a procurement vehicle for Core Clinical Solutions which provide the Foundation Capabilities for managing Electronic Patient Records (EPRs).

This purpose of this Market Engagement is to ensure there is capacity in the market to meet NHS England’s requirements, inform the design and content of any subsequent tender exercise; and provide potential Suppliers with enough information to prepare a strong bid should that opportunity arise.

The commercial proposition is available on NHS England’s strategic sourcing tool Atamis (Welcome (force.com)). Please note that all queries, clarifications and requests for information throughout Market Engagement should be raised via Atamis - we cannot guarantee a response to any other mode of correspondence.
