Procurement of Support & Maintenance Contract for the Pharmacy Stock Control System JAC
Procurement Information
Health and Social Care Northern Ireland (HSCNI) is currently rolling out 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. In order to facilitate transition to the Encompass solution as it is implemented it is necessary to extend existing arrangements as an interim measure. 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 disproportionate technical difficulties that would impact on the Trust ability to provide a pharmacy service. The absence of competition is not a result of the artificial narrowing of the parameters of the procurement. No other reasonable alternative exists, this is a complex system that is critical to patient care and service delivery. Careflow Medicines Management Ltd are the sole supplier and have exclusive rights over the software, licences and updates for the system. The wider market was consulted as part of the Encompass procurement.
