                "description": "Invitation to Tender for CORTISONE Deployed Laboratory Information Management System This will be an Open Tender for any interested supplier. More information and access to the documentation can be found through the Defence Sourcing Portal. Defence Medical Services DMS is procuring a new LIMS to support Pathology services in the Deployed environment, a critical component of healthcare delivery. Defence Pathology is deployed as part of a healthcare facility and provides diagnostic testing services and blood for transfusion to both primary and secondary healthcare services across the entire Operational Patient Care Pathway. This includes General Practice, Resuscitation including trauma and massive haemorrhage, all deployed medical and surgical capabilities including Damage Control Surgery, Intensive Care, Infection Control, Medical Evacuation and Sexual Healthcare. Service provision is tailored to the size and composition of the deployed population at risk (PAR). For all specialities, the LIMS is the primary repository of data relating to testing and subsequent reporting. In Defence Pathology, laboratory data are generated across four main areas: 1. Blood Sciences o Clinical Biochemistry o Haematology and Coagulation 2. Transfusion o Blood Banking o Blood grouping and crossmatching 3. Microbiology o Culture o Serology/Virology o Molecular diagnostics 4. Referrals o Specialist testing unavailable in the deployed space for each of the above o Cellular Pathology Defence Pathology operates overseas and maritime deployed pathology services on an as-required basis in deployable medical facilities ranging in size from small teams (single resus and surgical bed with no hold capability) through to full size field hospitals (up to 100 ward beds) as part of the DMS. The medical capabilities on deployments should be considered as a network providing care through fixed, mobile and peripatetic service delivery methods. In addition, Defence Pathology personnel are located at four UK based locations (Centre of Defence Pathology, the Training School, and two Joint Hospital Group sites). The Authority may be supported by suitably qualified, experienced and appropriately security cleared independent third parties during the design, assessment and evaluation of tender responses. These third-party assessors are obliged to protect Tenderer and Authority information and are bound to confidence and impartiality through appropriate contractual obligations with the Authority. For further information, on the evaluation strategy, please review Annex C2 of the Invitation to Tender (ITT) Pack. The LIMS procurement will be run via the Defence Sourcing Portal (DSP). The DSP will be used for all communications surrounding the procurement, including the publication of the ITT, access to ITT documentation, clarification question submissions and responses, tender evaluation, and the subsequent contract award.
