## Notice

Our current Point of Care tool is used by the Luton and Dunstable Hospital, covering gaps in service for clinical decisions. The tool will be used by clinicians to support and inform patient care, as well as by students for education purposes. Ideally information that may be printed and provided to patients by hospital staff, on covered subjects should be available from the system. We need a platform that is easily accessible, provides the fullest breadth of coverage, and displays synthesised and summarised evidence-based content, written by subject experts. As a University Hospital it is essential this product is recognisable to our users and that all content has been peer-reviewed. All content must be the latest available evidence on all subjects covered, easily referenced and with clear signatures of authors and date of publications. Tender opening - 20/08/2018 - 9:00am Deadline for tender submissions - 02/09/2018 - 23:55pm Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
