Advanced Health & Care (Advanced), has been named as an approved supplier on the NHS Shared Business Services (NHS SBS) Healthcare Clinical Information Systems framework. The new framework, which has been divided into six lots, is valued at up to £1.25 billion.

Advanced is one of 26 suppliers to have been chosen for the framework, which will operate for four years with a potential two-year extension and is free for any NHS organisation to access. Other suppliers include; HP, CSC, Atos, Northgate Information Systems, CGI and Civica.

NHS providers can localise their technology requirements and hold mini-competitions among suppliers listed on the framework that can be completed in a shorter timeframe and at a much reduced cost.

Advanced will provide its Adastra and Carenotes clinical patient management systems, along with its integrated mobile solutions, on four of the framework’s lots.
