Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit is holding a Market Engagement Exercise titled "Teledermatology Software Market Engagement Demonstration Day." This event, part of a planning stage process, is set for Thursday, 12th September 2019. Interested parties must register by 5pm on 5th September 2019, to express their interest via the EU Supply Portal. The initiative primarily focuses on the medical software industry, specifically for teledermatology services within the West Midlands region of the United Kingdom, aimed at improving dermatology referral pathways for approximately 450,000 patients.

This market engagement represents a promising opportunity for software developers, especially those specialising in healthcare IT solutions. Companies that can provide teledermatology software featuring high-resolution imaging capabilities and robust information governance are particularly well-suited to compete. As the NHS seeks to enhance its service delivery through innovative technology solutions, this tender opens doors for businesses to engage with public healthcare sectors and grow their offerings in the evolving healthcare market.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Teledermatology Software Market Engagement Demonstration Day

Notice Description

This is a Market Engagement Exercise only. The Market Engagement Event will take place on Thursday 12th September 2019. Further details regarding the format and location will be provided at a later date. Additional CPV Code Dermatology services - 85121282 NHS Dudley CCG are currently reviewing the pathway for Dermatology into Acute and Community. As part of the review the Dermatology Steering Group are exploring the possibility of including Advice & Guidance by using a Teledermatology solution. The CCG currently has 43 GP Practices (all EMIS Web) covering a population of approximately 450,000 patients. The Teledermatology solution that is being sought will be for all GPs to refer (for Advice & Guidance) to our main Acute Provider and a Community provider. The service is currently offered via eRS (electronic Referral System) which is nationally commissioned by NHS England and delivered via NHS Digital. There is an expectation that any advice and guidance provided for Dermatology (with the use of a Teledermatology solution) will still be processed seamlessly via eRS. The supplier's software can be deliverable either via a mobile APP and/or equivalent PC client software or cloud-based portal and must include high resolution clinical pictures of lesions and rashes, high resolution dermoscopical photographs with basic +/- advanced AI (software). The Suppliers must demonstrate experience of delivering software to support referral routes from Primary Care to Community and Acute Services. Suppliers must also have relevant robust Information Governance compliance to ensure patient confidentiality is not compromised and data controllers not put at any risk regardless of significance. Evidence of an overall reduction in referrals would be beneficial. The CCG's final overall Dermatology service specification will only include Teledermatology based on the ability and availability within the market place (and supplier experience) of delivering software to support a Teledermatology service. As this is a new service the CCG hope to gain insight from experts from across the market to ensure that expectations are realistically aligned. Suppliers are also requested to ensure that the necessary standards for Teledermatology as per National guidelines (available for your reference attached) are taken into consideration when presenting their solution. Following this Market Engagement Exercise the CCG will seek to develop and final service specification with the intention to commence a tender process later this year. Please note that the CCG does not bind itself to undertake a competitive tender and may for example make the decision not to procure such support or consider alternative routes to market. Additional information: This is a Market Engagement Exercise only. The Market Engagement Event will take place on Thursday 12th September 2019. Further details regarding the format and location will be provided at a later date. To Express your interest you must register your organisation on the EU Supply Portal - https://uk.eu-supply.com/login.asp?B=UK. Once you have registered your organisation please select Project 36865 - AGEMCSU/TRANS/19/747 - Teledermatology Software Solution. Please register your interest by completing the online questionnaire and submit no later than 5pm on 5th September 2019.
