<p>Contract spend for the provision of Foundry core platform services to National
Health Service organisations was £23.5 million from 12 December 2020 to 11 December
2022, and £11.5 million from December 2022 to June 2023.</p><p>NHS England is in the
process of re-procuring the COVID-19 Data Platform, which is hosted on Foundry, and
has recently launched an open tender for a Federated Data Platform and Associated
Services. It is anticipated that a contract will be awarded to the successful supplier
in Autumn 2023.</p><p>NHS England is undertaking a fair, open and transparent procurement
process to re-procure this service. It is inevitable that some form of transition
will be required regardless of the successful supplier and as such, it is likely that
NHS England will be required to continue to contract with the incumbent supplier to
manage this transition.</p>
