The organisation recently announced an initial round of contracts worth £44m under the framework agreement. Under these, Intersystems will provide its TrakCare product to five health boards – Ayrshire and Arran, Borders, Grampian, Greater Glasgow and Clyde and Lanarkshire – for use in acute and mental health.
An NSS spokesperson said the agreement is unlikely to reach £100m, as this would involve all health boards using all the modules offered under the deal. "We're not expecting that to happen, although we are hopeful that as many boards as possible will join," he added.
The system was originally procured for health services in both Scotland and Northern Ireland, but the latter's government has since decided not to take up services under the deal.
NSS made public the £100m upper value through a contract award notice in the Official Journal of the European Union on 18 February 2010.
In another award notice on the same date, it said it will pay Innovation Business Vision £90,000 for a content management system, allowing more than 200 site authors to create websites.
