The procurement falls under the 'Data services' and 'Computer support and consultancy services' categories. The tender, titled 'Registration Authority Bureau Service', has a value of £130,000 and is open for all suitable businesses, with a tender deadline of September 8, 2022. The contract period is set to start on October 14, 2022, and extend until March 31, 2027, offering opportunities for SMEs to bid. This procurement opportunity by Sheffield Health & Social Care NHS FT presents a chance for businesses registered with NHS Digital as a Registration Authority to provide services during the deployment of the Rio EPR system. Businesses proficient in data services and computer support are well-suited to compete for this tender. With a contract value of £130,000 and a possibility of extension, this tender provides a lucrative opportunity for businesses seeking growth in the healthcare technology sector. The tight deadlines and extensive contract period offer a stable revenue stream for successful bidders aiming to establish a long-term relationship with the healthcare provider. ## Notice SHSC is currently working towards deploying the Rio EPR. There will be an initial Go live in March of 2023 with further functionality being added throughout 2023. Unlike our current EPR system, Rio will be linked to NHS Spine services, including Summary Care record and users will therefore need appropriate checks and privileges to enable them to log on. SHSC also has some services that use SystmOne for specialist services and some users access information stored on SystmOne via the SystmOne record viewer. The Trust has a small number of users with Smartcards currently, which are managed in house by the HR department. We require a Registration Authority Bureau service to assist us to set up and deploy an NHS Care Identity Service 2 (CIS2) solution (which may include physical smartcards, virtual smartcards and Yubikeys) for around 2,500 users ahead of, and following, the Rio go live, and covering all our clinical systems. This is for the period from November 2022 to March 2024. This may be subject to extension for a further 3 years. You must either already be registered with NHS Digital as a Registration Authority or have registered prior to the delivery of this contract.
