Implementation Support for Digital Health Systems DPS
Framework Description
The Implementation Support for Digital Health Systems DPS is run by NHS London Procurement Partnership, hosted by Guy's & St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust. It replaced the OneLondon Local Health and Care Record DPS and widens the scope to digital health systems in general. It has a single category for implementation resources, including integration, go-live support, data migration and programme management, and runs until 23 February 2029.
Context & Use Case
NHS commissioners and trusts use it when they need extra capacity to deliver a digital system rollout, such as migrating data from a legacy system, supporting go-live, or adding programme management. Buyers run focused competitions among qualified suppliers, which is quicker than a full tender for short-term implementation work on a fixed phase of a programme.

Who Can Apply
Suits technology suppliers, implementation consultancies and specialist contractors in integration, data migration and programme delivery for health systems. As a DPS, it accepts applications during its term, so suppliers that meet LPP's criteria can apply now.
Buyer Benefits
Implementation is where many digital programmes slip, as trusts rarely keep migration and go-live specialists on staff. This DPS lets a buyer bring in proven help quickly for a fixed phase of work, run a short competition among qualified suppliers, and avoid the time and cost of a full tender.
Next Steps
Check the DPS page on the LPP website for the qualification requirements, then apply. Suppliers on the former OneLondon DPS should confirm their status under the renamed arrangement with LPP. Once admitted, keep case studies of go-lives and data migrations ready, as competitions for implementation work tend to move fast.
How Athena Can Help
This DPS is open, so the first step is a strong application. Athena's DPS registration team prepares the selection answers, case studies and policies, and checks everything for compliance before you submit, so nothing holds up your admission.
Once admitted, our bid writers for implementation work turn your go-live and migration record into scored answers with clear win themes, and our public contract bid/no-bid tools help you choose which competitions are worth pursuing.
