Description
This agreement is set up for one buyer: NHS England. NHS England is buying these services for itself and certain types of organisations specified in the contract. These organisations are called cluster members and can use NHS Notify services through the contract.
NHS Notify services under the call-off contracts include printing and posting letters for NHS and health authorities. This includes both standard letters and accessible letters. These letters may be used for vaccinations, cancer screening, vaccination appointment booking, secondary care bookings and invitations to trials.
Accessible formats also include, but are not limited to, braille, audio CD, large print, easy read, and other languages.
The agreement will run for 4 years. During this time, NHS England will source and manage the call-off contracts on behalf of the NHS and health authorities.
