Hundreds of millions of pounds' worth of consultancy work farmed out Lindsay Clark Tue 22 Dec 2020 // 16:28 UTC Share Copy Deloitte, Atos, and Phoenix Software are among the 29 organisations who've been picked to provide a whopping £200m worth of IT consultancy services to the National Health Service in the north of England. With a name like your second-favourite indie band, the North of England Commercial Procurement Collaborative (NOE CPC) has awarded the six-lot contract to a long list of familiar and not-so-familiar names in the hopes of improving IT support for clinical and non-clinical work. The buyers' group of NHS trusts first launched the tender in July, with the idea of building a framework for professional services and consultancy support in acute trusts, community hospitals, clinical commissioning groups, and other healthcare settings.
