"description": "The service is being modified to extend the duration of the contract. This contract will now run until 5 April 2031. As well as extending the duration, in the light of the passage of time, several non-substantial modifications have been agreed to align certain clauses to the parties' current operational and commercial needs. This includes modifications to address changes in regulations affecting the functionality of the software and changes that have become necessary to reflect the extended duration of the contract.",
"rationale": "Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: The Trust has a continuing need for an EPR solution for its operational services beyond the scheduled expiry of Epic's contract. The EPR software was developed and provided by Epic. The Trust undertook a market engagement exercise to test whether a third party supplier could provide ongoing maintenance services to a level which is sufficiently robust to satisfy the Trust's requirements. These market engagement activities confirmed that: * it would not be viable for a third-party to deliver maintenance services for the Trust's existing software licences; and * alternative supplier arrangements could not be secured without the need to re-license and to pay for lengthy transition support. Awarding a contract to a supplier other than Epic would cause significant inconvenience and substantial duplication of costs for the Trust as switching supplier would: * necessitate the purchase of new software licences, notwithstanding that the current solution and licences are fit for purpose; * render valueless the perpetual licences which the Trust obtained under the existing contract; and * require the Trust to incur duplicative capital costs if it were required to invest in a new EPR solution. Switching to an alternative supplier would also give rise to material operational risks, given the Trust's EPR solution is integral to all aspects of care delivery and hospital administration. Significant resources have been allocated to configuring, optimising, and embedding the current solution within the Trust's clinical and operational workflows. Appointing a new supplier would mean incurring duplicative costs on configuring, optimising and embedding the new system. This could cause significant inconvenience given the impact on patient safety, service quality, productivity levels, and the effectiveness of care delivery models."
