Lot Information

Lot 1

University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust (UHB) is seeking to engage with suppliers interested in its requirement for an Enterprise Architecture Tool Suite. UHB comprises four hospitals and community services across Birmingham, and has more than 700 IT systems, ranging from bespoke data capture applications used by individuals to medical device integrations and enterprise-wide resource planning solutions. The estate comprises over 900 servers (physical and virtual) and 20,000 desktop and mobile computer devices spread over multiple locations including cloud, using various connectivity/security technologies. The trust wishes to develop an improved understanding of its assets and the inter-dependencies between these, and its business processes and the data the organisation collects, stores and shares. The trust has existing access to some third-party discovery tools to identify hardware and software assets and has some existing architecture artefacts. These include a partial systems inventory, and a limited number of system diagrams, network topology diagrams and data flow diagrams. The trust wishes to consolidate these architecture artefacts into a single repository to form an Enterprise Continuum and develop this further with additional data and diagrams. A wide variety of stakeholders within the trust will need to interrogate this repository for analysis and planning to improve application portfolio management, technology risk management, post-merger IT integration, and overall business transformation. Suppliers who are able to offer solutions relevant to this requirement are invited to express an interest and respond to a market engagement questionnaire. Further details on how to do this are contained within the additional information section of this notice. This exercise is intended to provide potential bidders with the opportunity to review the Authority's Briefing Document and to provide information regarding the services they can offer that could meet these outline requirements. This builds on the Authority's commitment to engage with the market, by sharing information and seeking input from the market to enable us to develop the final specification and determine the appropriate route to market in a fair and transparent manner.
