Notice Description

The Commissioner is now looking to refresh (re-procure) the Clinical Communications Tool framework to continue with the core aims of modernising the communications and tasks management systems throughout the NHS. NHS organisations require dedicated modern communications and task management systems to enable staff time to be saved by reducing their need to use the historic 'bleep' system or by sending emails and numerous telephone calls.

To access the MEQ, Suppliers need to register with the Commissioner's online portal In-tend (eTendering portal). Once Suppliers access In-Tend they can then follow the instructions to complete the MEQ. The Commissioner asks for completed MEQs to be returned in accordance with the instructions set out in the MEQ by 3rd September 2021 at 12:00. The proposed scope of services is: Lot 1 - Secure Clinical Communication tool / Messaging app - two-way messaging including basic image / video sharing. Please note that detailed requirements will be set out in the application specification. Lot 2 - Secure Clinical Communication tool / Messaging App premium plus Enhanced Functionalities (defined below) Lot 3 - Secure Clinical Communication tool / Messaging App premium plus Enhanced Functionalities and Additional Functions (as defined below) Enhanced Functionalities: image / video transfer, task management, API integration and Interoperability with other clinical solutions and alert functionality, (including crash bleep replacement & break through silence if available), NHS directory.

Please note that detailed requirements will be set out in the application specification. Suppliers will be able to bid for multiple Lots. This PIN is to enable the Commissioner to gather information.
