Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, is planning a procurement for a "Framework for Wales for Outcome Collection" aimed at implementing a Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) system across Health Boards and Trusts in Wales. The project, classified under the CPV code 48000000 for software packages, has an estimated value of £1,500,000 and is currently at the planning stage. It is expected to facilitate multiple providers through direct awards or mini-competitions under a framework intended to improve PROMs data collection methods. A supplier engagement event is scheduled for 10th March 2022, with further details to follow. The deadline for future notices is set for 28th March 2022.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for software companies, particularly those specialising in health informatics and digital solutions for patient outcome measurement. Businesses that can offer flexible and interoperable software solutions, aligning with the PROM Standard Operating Model (PSOM) requirements, would be especially well-suited to engage in this procurement process. The eventual implementation of the framework is expected to enhance data linkage and analysis capabilities for Health Boards and Trusts, thus fostering innovation and improvement in patient health management across Wales.

    "description": "A Patient Reported Outcome Measure (PROM) is a structured questionnaire (also referred to as tool and instrument) completed by the patient which forms part of an assessment to measure the patient perception of health, quality of life and the symptom burden which may be specific to the condition that the patient has or more generically about their overall quality of life and health status. PROMs collection methods can sometimes be rudimentary (e.g. paper form, MS Excel Forms) which although often a suitable start up models, is difficult to upscale. A myriad of digital solutions are becoming available on the market that can collect PROMs in a more sustainable way, however these are often developed as \"bolt-on\" partial digital products offered alongside other core system functionality, with few having PROM as their core function and purpose. NHS Wales experience to date has seen significant challenges often linked to platforms' lack of semantics standardisation or flexibility to embed PROMs collection to complex data and workflow models required to maximise the benefits of this data, at both clinical and system level. Significant variations exist in embedding PROMs data flows (e.g. collection, coding, interoperability, pathways) into the patient journey/clinical workflow. This makes it difficult to access and analyse data in a consistent, standard and timely manner to build correct data linkages and prepare longitudinal information products and visualisations. PROMs collection can be at a Health Board/Trust level to meet local needs and at a national level (across Health Boards and Trusts) to meet the Welsh Value in Health Centre national programme needs. Welsh Value in Health Centre has developed a PROM Standard Operating Model to support NHS Wales organisations embed near real time collection of PROMs at scale to support both national and local needs and to dispel the challenges experienced to date. Working in partnership with Health Boards and Trusts in Wales, the Welsh Value in Health Centre has written a Patient Reported Outcomes Measures collection requirement specification document. The specification sets out the data and process standards for PROMs collection, the minimum schedule for when PROMs are to be collected, and approaches to address interoperability both in the interim term and long term. The long-term approach is to align to HL7 FHIRv4 standards for information exchange. The specification also takes into consideration the national programme needs, as well as factoring in the potential future deliverables arising from the National Data Resources (NDR) programme and the Digital Services for Patient and the Public (DSPP) national programmes. The document is referred to as PROMs Standard Operating Model (PSOM) requirements specification.
