NHS Shared Business Services Limited (NHS SBS) completed an open procedure for the procurement of the Framework Agreement for the provision of Medicine Optimisation Prescribing Decision Support Systems and related Services for Healthcare to be used by NHS SBS Approved Organisations.
This Framework Agreement offers computerised support which enables prescribers to switch easily to the suggested medicine, at an appropriate dose and frequency and also enables Approved Organisations to 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.
Some purchases under this Framework Agreement may have requirements that can be met under this Framework Agreement but the purchase of which may be exempt from the Procurement Regulations. In such cases, Call-off Contracts from this Framework will be unregulated purchases for the purposes of the Procurement Regulations, and Approved Organisations may, at their discretion, modify the terms and conditions of any Call-off Contracts to reflect that Approved Organisation's specific needs.
