TCS to modernize NHS Supply Chain's IT systems under new contract
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) just scored a five-year contract to upgrade the NHS Supply Chain's core IT and cloud systems.
This move is all about fixing old tech issues and helping the NHS unlock over £1 billion in recurrent value by 2030.
Out with the old, in with AI-powered cloud
TCS will swap out outdated systems for a new cloud-based platform that uses artificial intelligence.
The goal? Make things run smoother, speed up deliveries, and give users and suppliers more transparency.
It's a big step toward smarter, faster healthcare decisions.
Part of NHS's bigger digital game plan
Matthew Wynn from NHS Supply Chain says this upgrade will make their tech stronger and easier to use.
It fits right into the NHS's long-term push for a sustainable, digitally connected supply chain—not just for hospitals, but for all care settings.
