Atamis: the NHS procurement portal explained
Atamis is the e-commercial system used across the NHS in England, often called the Health Family. NHS England, integrated care boards and many NHS trusts publish and run their procurements on it. For care providers it is the place to find NHS funded opportunities, including some continuing healthcare and complex care work. You register a free supplier account, then search and express interest in the opportunities that fit your services.
Who uses Atamis
NHS England rolled Atamis out as a single commercial platform for the NHS Health Family. That covers integrated care boards, trusts and other NHS bodies, so a wide range of health funded contracts pass through it. Care providers most often see continuing healthcare packages, complex care, and health led supported living and reablement work here.
Registering and finding work
Set up a free supplier profile and complete your organisation details, including CQC registration. Use the opportunity search and set alerts for care related categories so NHS tenders reach you. Express interest to access the documents, then complete the questionnaire and responses within the system before the deadline.
