Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process is led by the Belfast Health and Social Care Trust, focusing on the provision of ICCA Software Licenses BCH, classified under Hospital and related services. The procurement method used is a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, with an active contract awarded to Cardiac Services for a value of £18,392 signed on 12 February 2021. The services are to be delivered to the Nightingale unit at Belfast City Hospital, with relevant dates highlighting the procurement process began on 12 February 2021, and the award was confirmed shortly thereafter.

This contracting opportunity presents significant potential for businesses, particularly those that specialise in healthcare software solutions or are involved in the provision of critical care technology. Given the unique nature of this procurement, companies that offer specialist services or proprietary systems similar to the ICCA system will be well-positioned to compete. The absence of competition due to exclusive rights underlines the importance of well-established partnerships and expertise in hospital-integrated software services for any interested bidders.

Notice Title

ICCA Software Licenses BCH

Notice Description

ICCA Software Licenses BCH

Procurement Information

No other reasonable alternative exists for this procurement, this Intellispace Critical Care and Anaesthesia (ICCA) system is essential to patient care and service delivery. Cardiac Services are the sole supplier/agent for the Philips Clinical Information System and have exclusive rights over the software, licences and updates for this system. The functionality of this system is within the core scope of the Encompass procurement This contract is required to cover the transitional period and a replacement in the short-term is not a reasonable alternative as it would require extensive ICT infrastructure, validation and integration work that would result in significant disruption and lead to disproportionate technical difficulties that would impact on the Trusts ability to provide a Critical Care and Anaesthesia service. The wider market was consulted when Encompass was procured. The absence of competition is not a result of the artificial narrowing of the parameters of the procurement.
