This project falls within the healthcare services industry and aims to provide an extensible software system that can manage lifelong care for patients. The tender is in the active stage, with submissions due by 14th December 2018. The anticipated contract start date is 15th April 2019, extending until 13th April 2029. The estimated contract value is between £350,000 and £700,000, with the delivery to take place in the South East of England. This tender presents a significant opportunity for IT service providers, particularly those specialising in Clinical Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions. Businesses with experience in delivering commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) IT systems that integrate well into existing NHS frameworks will find this tender particularly well-suited for their capabilities. Opportunities may arise for both small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can demonstrate expertise in customising and configuring IT systems to meet specific clinical requirements, thus enhancing patient care services. ## Notice The University of Southampton is seeking a fully hosted (Software As A Service (SAAS)) Clinical IT System which is not reliant on integration with separate patient administration, appointment booking and stock control systems. It must also have the capability of managing lifelong care for patients within the auditory implant service. Due to the ongoing support requirements of patients, the current database, which has in excess of 2800records, is to be migrated from the existing database to the new system and this process must be managed by the Service Provider as part of their implementation. Due to the specialist nature of this requirement, the University is looking for Potential Suppliers who have experience of providing COTS (commercial off the shelf) extensible IT systems to support clinics, providing out-patient services to the NHS which is not reliant on integration with a separate patient administration system. The USAIS preferred approach is to have, as far as possible, the Service Provider configure, rather than customise, their COTS IT system to meet USAIS requirements. Some custom development may also be required in order to meet the requirements which are unique to the context of the auditory implant service. The IT system needs to be extensible to allow it to adapt to deliver new integrated care pathways and to support new types of clinical test. Please note numerous types of clinical test exist in the current system. Patients currently no access to the current IT system. USAIS strategy is to utilise the new IT system to improve the online offering to patients on communicating with the service, ordering spares, managing appointments and accessing reports and test results.
