EMIS Group misses out on NHS contract

Leeds-based EMIS Group has received confirmation from NHS Wales that it has not been chosen as a preferred vendor for the next primary care framework agreement in Wales following a planned procurement review process which began in Q1 of 2017.

As at 30 June 2017, EMIS provided GP services to 195 practices in Wales. The Group’s total UK estate at that date was 5,147 GP practices.

Annual revenues from the existing framework agreement with NHS Wales are approximately £2m at a margin significantly below the Group average.

An update from EMIS Group this morning stated: “This decision will require that EMIS Web users in Wales are transitioned to a new provider via a phased process throughout 2019 and 2020, to be agreed with NHS Wales. EMIS will continue to generate revenues on a reducing basis until the transition process is complete.”
