NPfIT - back to choice of suppliers for NHS trusts?

The NHS's National Programme for IT [NPfIT] has taken a different direction with NHS trusts being given a choice of a range of systems from various suppliers - which they were able to do before the advent of the NPfIT in 2002. An announcement was made today [7 May 2008] of the names of suppliers who have signed framework deals, the so-called Additional Supply Capability and Capacity(ASCC). The suppliers will supply systems to national standards and may end up competing with the three local service providers, CSC, Fujitsu and BT, who were given £6.2bn worth of contracts to supply NHS trusts in 2003 and 2004.
