Contact Tracing: Software

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, for what reasons contracts #12 and #13 pertaining to the NHS X contact tracing app have not yet been published; and when he plans to publish those contracts.

Answer

The Department only publishes contracts that exceed £10,000 in value. Contract #12 has no financial value and therefore will not be published. Contract #13 is for Programme Management Support for the development of the National Health Service COVID-19 app provided by Accenture. Details will be published this week.
