Lot Information

Lot 1

The University of Edinburgh (UoE) Royal (Dick) Vet School of Veterinary Studies proposes to purchase a Vender Neutral Archiving System, to be on-prem with software as a service as the best value option. The Vet School's current PACS system is not covered by a formal contract due to expiring a number of years ago. The current system in use is unable to interface with key technology resulting in a potential loss and misinterpretation of data and requires very close monitoring from the Schools IT Team. Not having a contract with the supplier is making it difficult to support, resulting in a loss of service. Therefore, the Vet School require a Vender Neutral Software Application to hold Image Capture and associated documents from cases worked on with the Small Animal Hospital.

Renewal: 5 years initially with potential to extend for 5 more years
