## Summary

The procurement process for the "Medicines Information Beta" project is being conducted by the Health and Social Care Information Centre, based in Leeds, England. The tender, classified under the CPV code 85149000 for pharmacy services, had a total value of £29,000 and followed an open procedure for tendering. The tender period concluded on 4th November 2016, with the contract period running from 7th November 2016 until 11th October 2018. This project primarily aims to deliver information on 50 medicines based on developed prototypes while undergoing user testing and iteration.

This tender presents a great opportunity for businesses specialising in pharmacy services, particularly those with expertise in developing health-related information products or applications. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be well-suited to compete given the scale of the contract, as the requirements include creating a live beta version of the product and enhancing existing prototypes with richer information. Companies engaged in user research and agile development methodologies would particularly benefit from this opportunity to expand their portfolios in the healthcare sector.

## Notice

The medicines information product is being developed by a small agile team which to date has researched user needs in this area and developed prototypes which will form the starting point for this live beta. The beta is intended to deliver information on 50 medicines based on these prototypes to a live audience, through a cycle of development, user testing and iteration. It will also explore extension of the existing prototypes to include richer information, for example on different formulations of a single medicine.
