This procurement falls under the software package and information systems industry category, with specific classifications including medical information systems and patient-administration systems. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in software solutions for healthcare management. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) may find this process especially accessible as the Trust is actively seeking input to refine its requirements and deliver the final specifications transparently. Suppliers capable of providing innovative solutions for referral triage and management are encouraged to participate, as this engagement is designed to foster collaboration and enhance service delivery within the NHS framework. ## Notice University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust ("UHB") is a large speciality teaching hospital that runs the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham (QEHB), Birmingham Chest Clinic, Heartlands Hospital, Good Hope Hospital, Solihull Hospital and various community services across the region.
