Description

Development services required to keep the EMIS PCS GP IT System running, that is still in use in 454 surgeries in Scotland. The requirement was unforeseen at the award of the GP IT Systems framework agreement as the programme of work to replace these systems in practices was delayed by supplier acquisition. We anticipate these systems will be required until June 2027 after which they be migrated to new services under NP500717 GP IT Managed Services contract.

Total Quantity or Scope

Provision of additional services that can only be supplied by a particular economic operator for technical reasons.
