Notice Title
Digital Histopathology for Regional Cross site reporting & Pathology Image sharing
Notice Description
The South West Region would like to implement a single solution that provides a unified reporting experience for Pathology. From this market engagement we would like to gather information to develop informed decision making, better understanding the capability of the market, and the possible options available to then develop out to further 'ologies as the clinical networks develop. The solution should allow for image data to be transferred and accessed in a bi-directional manner without compromising speed of access, and image fidelity on a near real-time basis. The solution should be accessible across the group of hospital pathology departments and from remote locations to allow for flexibility, and ease of use while maintaining a consistent in-hospital experience from all locations. For the following South West Trusts Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust North Bristol NHS Trust Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust Somerset NHS Foundation Trust Torbay and South Devon Foundation Trust University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust Yeovil District Hospital NHS Foundation Trust Dorset County Hospital NHS Foundation Trust Dorset University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust The core anticipated term is 5 years (March 2024 to 31st March 2029), with potential further extension option 2 x 1 year periods. Contract. The Commissioner will be contracting for the services using the NHS Standard Good and Services Contract 2023/24 version. To submit an expression of interest, providers are asked to firstly register on Atamis via the link provided https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome Once registered, interested parties are asked to complete the expression of interest by way of an MS Forms questionnaire. The MS Forms questionnaire link can be found within the supplier documents section within the project in Atamis. Interested parties need to register on Atamis to then complete the expression of interest and MS Forms questionnaire by Tuesday 5th September 2023 at 12 midday BST. If you experience any difficulties completing this questionnaire or registering on Atamis, please contact commercial.procurementhub@nhs.net Please note a completed expression of interest form submitted via MS Forms is the only accepted method of expressing an interest (correspondence received by any other route will not be responded to). Expressions of interest will be treated as commercial in confidence and responses will not be evaluated or used in the potential procurement. This process is being managed by the National, Commercial and Procurement Hub on behalf of the Commissioner(s). Additional information: Interested providers will be able to view this opportunity via the live opportunities list on the 'Health Family' e-procurement system, Atamis.
