Notice Title

I.T Support for NHS inform

Notice Description

NHS inform wishes to procure IT support for the development and maintenance of NHS inform, Scotland's national health information online resource.

Lot Information

Lot 1

NHS inform is Scotland's national online health information resource and is managed by Health Information Services of NHS 24. The new refreshed website launched in November 2016. Given the high importance of this website within the national health and care information landscape, it is realised as the single point of contact for users looking for relevant content across this area. In order to achieve this, other national and local websites will be likely be migrated to the NHS inform site in order to reduce the clutter of NHS and Scottish Government related health information sites. It is essential therefore that NHS inform has a suitable information architecture and content strategy (including meta data modelling) that supports such significant content developments, as well as presents a findable digital asset to the user. Search Engine Optimisation therefore is another important component of this support award to be considered. NHS 24 is seeking a supplier to work co-productively with them, utilising an agile build methodology (for relevant development components) that will help realise their ambitions for the NHS inform website. The successful supplier will be responsible for the overall website support, allowing NHS 24 Digital Development staff requested level of access to the source code following agreed management principles prior to signature of any agreement. Agreed reporting will be presented each calendar month, highlighting the status of relevant tickets / items as well as all necessary detail to allow NHS 24 to effectively manage the support agreement and any allocation of resource.
