Lot Information

Lot 1

UHB is looking to source a solution from suppliers which replaces the current Enterprise Content Management Platform software for the storage of all types of electronic medias. This will aim to scan, store and retrieve all electronic based media types across the clinical, administrative and corporate areas across UHB to improve operational performance; improve patient outcomes and improve ways of working for staff.

The primary role of this software is to electronically store part of the patient electronic clinical record as we continue our direction towards a paperless environment. The current solution has been in use since 2009 and has 125 million documents that are across two instances (because of a hospital mergers). These documents are regularly accessed by our clinicians to deliver high quality patient care.

Over the last decade there has been a national drive to allow patients to have access to the information we hold. This has been achieved in the NHS via local patient portals or via the national NHS App. Currently this information is limited to referral or appointment data, but the national trend is to make all electronic media that we hold available to patients. This solution must be able to support this strategy via integration with patient portals and /or the NHS App.

As well as the above requirements, The Trust is seeking an overview on the management and support that can be provided on an on-going basis from interested suppliers. Additional information: Potential bidders are asked to note that the route to market has not yet been decided and therefore the procurement timetable has not been finalised. The Authority will make a final decision on the most appropriate route market following this engagement exercise. This may be a direct award via an existing public sector framework agreement or alternatively, the Authority may decide to run a competitive process via a mini-competition under a framework or an openly advertised procedure. If the latter, the publication of the ITT will include the publication of a Contract Notice, a Contracts Finder notice, and the ITT documents will be published on the Authority' Atamis e-tendering system.
