Child Digital Health Services Market Engagement

NHS England is inviting suppliers to attend a preliminary market engagement webinar in support of the Child Digital Health Services (CDHS) programme.  The programme have launched a Request for Information (RFI) for potential future procurement activity relating to Child Digital Health Services (CDHS).

This engagement is intended to help NHS England better understand the market, test the viability of a proposed delivery approach, and inform the design of any future procurement. The potential scope relates to the development and modernisation of digital services supporting preventative child health, including areas such as Child Health Information Services, antenatal and newborn screening, and digital services supporting parents, carers and children’s health pathways.

This engagement is likely to be of interest to suppliers with strengths in digital and data delivery, professional services, and specialist clinical expertise relevant to child health and prevention services, including those considering partnership or subcontracting arrangements.
