Lot Information

Lot 1

Hertfordshire County Council (the 'Council') is carrying out Pre-Procurement Market Engagement ('PPME') in relation to the aforementioned. Hertfordshire County Council Public Health identified a requirement to improve analytical capacity and capability through the use of new software. This software has been packaged and deployed onto a server by a third party. This has enabled Public Health and partners to collaboratively undertake data science and analytics projects resulting in improved analytical capabilities and capacity, and better use of data. We are looking to procure a platform to host RStudio Team and a Version Control System as well as provide ongoing management of the server and software. This service will involve handling of sensitive, personal data relating to health. Due to changes in the market, it may now require multiple providers or some element of in-house support to achieve the desired outcome. These technologies have been transformational to the capacity and capabilities of the team to work on topics across the health and care system enabling collaborative and analytical working within Public Health and partner organisations including the NHS.
