NHS England has opened a tender worth £16 million to support NHS provider organisations with their Frontline Digitisation programme in reaching a minimum level of digital capability and to have an electronic patient record (EPR) in place by the end of March 2026. This fund will be open to NHS secondary care Trusts providing acute, specialist, community, mental health, and ambulance services across England.
NHS England’s tender notice states that it is seeking a partner to create an experienced, multi-skilled, rapid response intervention service also known as a Tiger Teams service, capable of supporting EPR Delivery. NHS England acknowledges that EPRs are ‘notoriously complex to implement’ with the maturity of the digital, data and technology workforce across England varied, with providers having varying degrees of experience, and skills to implement successfully.
