Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the Belfast Health and Social Care Trust, which has completed a tender for "Oracle Software Update License and Support for Community Information System". This procurement falls under the health and social work services category, with a specific focus on the delivery location in Belfast, UK. The procurement method used was limited, allowing for an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, due to the exclusive rights held by Oracle for the required database and updates. The contract, valued at £120,000, was signed on 7th February 2022 and is currently active.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those in the IT and software sectors that specialise in healthcare solutions. Given the exclusive nature of the procurement, companies with established relationships or expertise in working with Oracle products would be well-positioned to benefit from future projects linked to the implementation of the Encompass Electronic Health and Care Record system. Businesses with capabilities in ICT infrastructure, integration, and support services may also find potential openings as the demand for robust solutions in healthcare continues to grow.

Oracle Software Update License and Support for Community Information System

Procurement Information

No other reasonable alternative exists for this procurement, An Oracle database is required for the Paris community information system that is essential to patient care and service delivery. Oracle have exclusive rights over this database, licences and updates. The functionality of the Paris system is within the core scope of the Encompass procurement. Health and Social Care Northern Ireland (HSCNI) is currently planning for the implementation of encompass, an Electronic Health and Care Record (EHCR) that will underpin the service transformation and healthcare needs of the population of Northern Ireland. Encompass will replace multiple aging HSC Trust systems and numerous paper records and manual workflows and the EHCR will deliver significant core functionality across the acute, community and primary care Out of Hours sectors. The contract for the provision of the EHCR solution was awarded to Epic in May 2020. 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 community information 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.
