Integrated care boards (ICBs) and GP practices are driving digital transformation to improve care coordination, reduce administrative burden and enhance patient outcomes. Making sure payments for NHS contracted services are accurate can be improved by clearer payment systems, better data and stronger local oversight —helping to make sure funding matches the care that's actually delivered.

Contract Manager supports this vision by streamlining contract management across providers and systems. With automated workflows, centralised access and full lifecycle visibility, Apex helps teams stay compliant with built in data compliance checks, allowing for optimised resources and the ability to focus more time on delivering integrated, patient-centred care. 

Back-office administration can be burdensome for GP practices. The purpose of introducing Contract Manager was to help release time for practices in Kent and Medway to focus on patient care. It’s done that, and more.”

Natalie Rennie

Senior Programme Manager, NHS Kent and Medway

Streamline NHS contract workflows and reduce admin burden 

Contract Manager simplifies the management of locally commissioned services by automating workflows, centralising documentation and reducing manual tasks. GP practices and ICBs benefit from faster approvals, fewer errors and less paperwork — freeing up staff time to focus on patient care. Proactive alerts for renewals, reviews and milestones help teams stay ahead of deadlines and reduce tracking overhead.  

Improve oversight, collaboration, and compliance 

With real-time visibility across practices, providers and ICBs, Contract Manager supports better planning and strategic decision-making. Role-based access enables secure collaboration across NHS teams, allowing stakeholders to review, edit and approve contracts in a shared platform. Built-in compliance checks, audit trails and version control help maintain governance and avoid costly oversights.  

Support digital transformation and drive better outcomes  

Contract Manager aligns with NHS England’s digital transformation goals by modernising contract management and integrating with existing systems across the ICS landscape. Its dashboards and performance tracking tools help teams optimise contract value, strengthen provider relationships and ultimately improve patient outcomes.
