I am looking for some information to be answered under the Freedom of Information Act relating to the digital and IT framework of your ICB.

My questions are as follows:

1. Please list the approved digital and IT suppliers to GP practices and primary care networks on your digital and IT framework in your ICB area.
2. Please separately list the approved digital and IT suppliers to Hospital Trusts on your digital and IT framework in your ICB area.
3. Please list the criteria on how digital suppliers get selected/approved to be on the digital and IT framework.
4. How often is this the digital and IT framework list revised?
5. How many contracts between the ICB and the supplier are in place for each supplier on this the digital and IT framework list?
6. How many contracts between organisations under the ICB, such as general practices, primary care networks and hospital trusts, are in place for each supplier on this digital and IT framework list?
7. How is the digital and IT framework accessed by healthcare professionals working in general practice and primary care networks?

NHS GM does not hold or manage the specific digital and IT framework referred to in your request. NHS GM does not maintain an independent, bespoke framework for these services. Instead, our digital and IT procurement is typically routed through existing national or regional frameworks.
