NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board intends to directly award a 12-month contract for licenses and support of its All Age Continuing Care (AACC) IT platform, which is critical for statutory functions. The current system is fully integrated and no other vendor can provide licensing or support. The contract runs until 30 June 2027, with a procurement process for a long-term solution to be completed by 31 December 2026. The remaining term will facilitate migration to a new platform.
