# NHS England Plans £838.7M GP IT Framework

NHS England is planning an **£838.7 million** open framework for GP IT solutions to replace GP IT Futures, which expired in March 2023. Tendering is expected to begin in November 2026, with the framework launch targeted for 20 September 2027. The procurement could reopen routes for suppliers of clinical and operational software to serve UK general practices.

- The planned open framework is a potential route to market for suppliers of GP IT solutions; companies can use the expected tendering start to prepare to review requirements and submission details when they are released.
- The framework’s planned replacement of GP IT Futures makes it relevant to incumbent providers and new market entrants assessing opportunities in UK primary care software.
- NHS England has not yet provided tender requirements or submission details in the signal, so suppliers should base bid planning on the published procurement documents once available.
