The services provided by NHAIS are required on an on-going basis and no other supplier can provide this service. Annual payments for software licences, support and maintenance are required in order for NHAIS to be legally and effectively operated by Family Practitioner Services. This will also include any upgrades of the Cache database as required. Failure to carry out required upgrades to the Cache database will result in increased vulnerability and security risk as the current version is out of support. STA8304 was completed in 2020 for NHAIS annual support and maintenance to DXC for PS1.2m. Dedalus are now providing annual support and maintenance instead of DXC. A further PS50,000 is required over the period of the contract to ensure that upgrades to the Cache databases are completed.
