## Summary

The framework allows NHS Trusts to procure solutions for integrating and managing legacy patient data, with a total contract value of £150 million. The tender had a procurement method of Open procedure and the contract period is set from 3rd April 2023 to 2nd April 2025.

This tender provides an opportunity for businesses, particularly in the healthcare technology sector, to offer cloud-based or on-site archive solutions for the seamless integration of clinical patient data. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) eligible to compete can access archived patient data from live Electronic Patient Records (EPR) systems. Businesses interested in this tender should ensure compliance with the NHS Trusts' requirements and the procurement specifications outlined in the ITT. The contract, awarded to multiple suppliers, presents a growth opportunity for suppliers offering innovative legacy information management solutions.

## Notice

Commercial Procurement Services seeks to introduce a new Framework Agreement which will allow NHS Trusts to procure legacy information integration and management solutions. When NHS organisations migrate from either a Patient Administration System (PAS) to an Electronic Patient Records (EPR) system, or move from one EPR to another, much of the clinical patient data held in the previous system and other legacy systems is archived. Access to this data is through an archived version of the legacy system(s) and requires a separate login, making accessing this patient data a slow process. The organisation is then required to maintain archive contracts for one or more legacy systems, which may be unsupported, in order to allow continued access to the archived patient data. This framework relates to the procurement of a cloud-based or on-site archive which interfaces directly with the live EPR, so clinicians can access archived clinical patient data seamlessly from within the live EPR. The data is extracted, analysed and migrated to the new system, ensuring the data is usable in the new system.
