Summary of the contracting process

The ST HELENS & KNOWSLEY TEACHING HOSPITALS NHS TRUST is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process for an "IT Outage Alerting Software." This software aims to enhance communication during IT outages and is classified under the communication software package category (CPV 48510000). The engagement period concludes on 23 September 2021, with a focus on companies that can provide a solution with specific functionality needs, including support for approximately 9000 users and customisable alert systems. The procurement process is initiated through a tender, and interested parties are encouraged to express their interest via email, quoting the tender number #Proc2122_1021.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for software developers and IT service providers, particularly those with expertise in alerting systems and integration with existing infrastructure. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations would be well-suited to compete, especially those who can demonstrate the ability to meet the specified requirements for customisation and usability. Engaging in this tender could lead to substantial growth, given the scale of the user base and the potential for ongoing engagements with publicly funded organisations in the healthcare sector.
