Summary of the contracting process

The South of England Procurement Centre is currently in the planning stage for a tender titled "Warfarin Printing - Market Consultation," which focuses on printing services within the healthcare industry. This procurement process is centred around the delivery of printing and postage services for a blood clotting analytical service at the Blood Sciences laboratory in Queen Alexandra Hospital, Portsmouth. A key milestone is set for the engagement end date on 26th February 2020. The project aims to transition from traditional printing to an electronic reporting system, enhancing the service delivery efficiency for patients. Interested businesses should be aware that the tender was published on 12th February 2020, and further information can be accessed through the specified e-sourcing portal.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in printing and electronic communication services to expand their offerings in the healthcare sector. Companies that have experience in delivering integrated printing solutions or e-portal technologies, particularly those catering to healthcare needs, would be well-suited to compete. The initiative aims to improve patient experience by reducing notification times and postage costs, potentially opening doors for innovative service providers looking to collaborate with NHS organisations to enhance existing processes.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Warfarin Printing - Market Consultation

Notice Description

We are looking for interested parties able to deliver the specification ahead of a Procurement. The Blood Sciences laboratory at Queen Alexandra Hospital, Portsmouth provides a blood clotting analytical service for patients taking the blood thinning drug, warfarin. Once results are complete we use a piece of software to calculate whether a dose adjustment is required and reports containing the most recent result, previous results and the dose of the drug to take are printed, sealed and posted first class to the patient. This printed report is also used as the request form for the next blood test. We are looking to outsource this current printing and postage service because it is a single point of failure in the process. We would also like to move away from printing and posting of reports and transition to an e-portal whereby patients are alerted by text or other message that their most recent report is available. They would log-in securely to view the report but with an appropriate failsafe system in place for those who sign up but neglect to log into the portal e.g. after 48 hours, a postal report is issued if a patient has not acknowledged their report. The long term aim here is to reduce the time taken for patients to be made aware of their report and also to reduce and eventually eliminate postage costs.
