During the procurement process, Suffolk & North East Essex ICB and Norfolk & Waveney ICB merged as part of the ICB reconfiguration and became a single entity named NHS Norfolk and Suffolk Integrated Care Board. The contract will be with NHS Norfolk and Suffolk Integrated Care Board. Suffolk & North East Essex ICB is looking for an IT provider to join them on their journey to improve and modernise the infrastructure in General Practice premises, to ensure that GP Practice and PCN staff have the right technology and support available when and where needed.

Suffolk & North East Essex ICB is seeking a provider to deliver a stable, flexible IT system to support a collaborative, productive workforce.

Any successfully appointed IT provider will be required to work in close collaboration with partner organisations across the ICS.
