What the notice says

Oxfordshire County Council is inviting suitably qualified providers to submit tenders for the delivery of a Data Management Service (DMS) to support the secure and anonymised extraction, processing, and reporting of clinical data from two key public health services delivered by GP practices: the NHS Health Check Programme and Long-Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC) services. The appointed provider will support the Council in meeting its statutory obligations under the Health and Social Care Act 2012 and associated regulations, enabling robust and timely reporting against national Public Health Outcomes Framework indicators and local strategic priorities. The scope of the service includes provision and maintenance of administration software, coordination of data extractions from clinical systems, quality assurance processes, and the generation of detailed reports and dashboards. These outputs will inform contract management, statutory reporting, and health equity audits, underpinning the Council’s commitment to reducing health inequalities. The contract is anticipated to be signed on 1 March 2026, with a go-live date of 1 July 2026. The initial contract term will be four years, with the option to extend for a further 24 months, subject to performance and strategic need.
