GPSoC pricing principles

Whether or not GPSoC was introduced, the NHS would continue to spend significant amounts on the existing GP clinical IT systems in use in general practice. The GPSoC arrangements have simplified the existing supplier pricing regimes and will help deliver better value for money for this ongoing spend. The key pricing principles introduced by GPSoC are:

• All inclusive core software licence charge per practice – there are no additional licence fees payable for additional users of the GP clinical IT system in a practice.
• All prices fixed for the duration of the GPSoC Framework – apart from annual indexation, all prices for current services are fixed until the end of the GPSoC Framework.
• Some ongoing system development is included in core software licence charge – the NHS can specify agreed common requirements to be incorporated into the core service with no increase to the core software licence charge.
• Standard per practice pricing from each GPSoC Framework supplier – standard pricing will make it easier to compare supplier prices for similar services.
