A services contract from NHS GLOUCESTERSHIRE INTEGRATED CARE BOARD, worth £2,250,000. Below: what it involves and how to write a winning bid for it.
Gloucestershire ICB and Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire (BNSSG) ICB are merging to form a single integrated body in April 2027. Both organisations currently rely on external providers for the delivery of their IT services. A new, unified service model is required; one that supports the merged organisation from day one, is commercially sustainable, and is capable of evolving as the ICS matures. Six principles shape the design of the future service: 1. Cloud-first and 'secure by design'. All new and renewed services will be cloud-based wherever possible. On-premises infrastructure will be exited as part of transition. This is both a strategic choice and a compliance requirement under the Government Cloud First Policy and Technology Code of Practice. 2. Outcome-focused. The service is defined by what it must deliver, not how it must be delivered. The supplier is expected to bring expertise, innovation and accountability for outcomes, not simply execute a prescriptive technical specification. 3. Single point of accountability. The preferred model is a single managed service provider with end-to-end accountability for operational delivery. This avoids the fragmentation
