Lot Information

Oncology Management System

The Oncology Management System (OMS) must operate as a single entity across the Beatson and be able to accommodate radiotherapy data and images for upwards of 230,000 patients, with over 4,000,000 treatment histories, and have the capacity for increases in radiotherapy workload for the next five years. The estimated increase in database growth is 10GB per annum with accompanying image storage growth of approximately 2TB per annum.. Contractors could tender for any single, or multiple lots, up to and including all 4 lots. Separate tenders should have been submitted for each lot. Contractors could submit more than 1 tender for any given lot. A single tender for more than 1 lot combined would not be considered.

Treatment Planning System 1

It was envisaged that Treatment Planning Systems 1 and 2 would facilitate different functions in clinical use. Treatment Planning System 1 was intended to be the department's primary pre-treatment planning system for almost all radical and palliative treatments. To that extent the systems required capacity to host a large number of simultaneous users executing a variety of planning functions such as outlining, optimisation and dose calculation.. Contractors could tender for any single, or multiple lots, up to and including all 4 lots. Separate tenders should have been submitted for each lot. Contractors could submit more than 1 tender for any given lot. A single tender for more than 1 lot combined would not be considered.

Treatment Planning System 2

It was envisaged that Treatment Planning Systems 1 and 2 would facilitate different functions in clinical use. Treatment Planning System 2 was intended primarily as a dose verification and quality assurance tool. It would perform multiple roles including secondary dose calculation for independent verification of monitor units, real time and off-line verification of on-treatment delivery via logging of key treatment variables and EPID Dosimetry, and logging of the department's QA activity.. Contractors could tender for any single, or multiple lots, up to and including all 4 lots. Separate tenders should have been submitted for each lot. Contractors could submit more than 1 tender for any given lot. A single tender for more than 1 lot combined would not be considered.

Radiotherapy DICOM Archive

It was essential that the DICOM Archive offered provided a high level of integration, at both the software and hardware levels, with the Beatson's existing imaging facilities and all commonly available oncology management systems and treatment planning systems. The need to duplicate or import and export data and images must have been minimised to maximise service efficiency and work.. Contractors could tender for any single, or multiple lots, up to and including all 4 lots. Separate tenders should have been submitted for each lot. Contractors could submit more than 1 tender for any given lot. A single tender for more than 1 lot combined would not be considered.
