NPfIT contract reset values

BT will now be paid £1 billion to deliver the NHS data spine, following a contract re-set.

The contract was originally worth £620m but the new figure reflects changes and additional requirements, health minister Ben Bradshaw told the House of Commons in a written answer. NHS Connecting for Health has indicated these include new functionality to support policy objectives, such as the 18 week waiting time target. A separate contract reset means that BT will also earn more than £1 billion as local service provider for London.
