Highlights

  • Supports both direct award and further competition, giving flexibility based on urgency and project scale
  • Transparent pricing via published day rate catalogue, enabling benchmarking and cost control
  • Incorporates robust evaluation and compliance standards including financial viability, social value (PPN 06/20) and carbon reduction plans (PPN 06/21)
  • Encourages SME participation, supporting innovation and local supplier engagement
  • NHSE CCF Accredited, supported by NHS LPP’s contract management, social value and procurement experts with ready to use documentation and supporting templates.
  • Compliments service elements of the Clinical Digital Health Solutions (CDHS) framework

The Digital Technical Clinical Support (DTCS) framework has been developed for the procurement of technical expertise and support, as a direct response to the NHS’s increasing need for specialised, flexible support across clinical digital projects, where in-house resources are limited or stretched.

The DTCS framework has evolved from the previous Clinical Digital Professional Services (CDPS) framework and the OneLondon Local Health and Care Record DPS – both of which have played an important role in helping NHS organisations access niche professional services. The new framework brings together the scope of these agreements, introduces two new additional lots to reflect demand following market consultation and simplifies access for buyers across the NHS and wider public sector.

The DTCS framework has been designed to provide a reliable route to access specialist skills for implementation, integration, development and optimisation of clinical digital systems.

It covers the full suite of clinical digital professional services, including services pertaining to both proprietary solutions and opensource solutions. All standalone clinical system focused professional services are covered within the remit of the framework and the provisions available to the public sector.
