The Trust requires a tool to handle sensitive and confidential data across different formats, ensuring data quality for successful ERP migration. Interested suppliers must respond to the questionnaire by 13:00 on Friday 28th April 2023 via the Health Family Single eCommercial System Portal (Atamis) to participate in this market engagement exercise in the West Midlands, United Kingdom. This tender opportunity presents a chance for software development and IT services providers to offer data wrangling tools to the University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust. Businesses with expertise in managing sensitive and confidential data, providing software solutions for ERP systems, and ensuring data integrity and quality are well-suited to compete in this procurement process. As the Trust moves to a "Cloud first" IT approach, suppliers can support their data management needs and contribute to the success of their IT migration strategy. ## Notice University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust (UHB) is one of the largest teaching hospital Trusts in England and the West Midlands, serving a regional, national and international population. It includes Birmingham Heartlands Hospital, Birmingham Chest Clinic, Good Hope Hospital, the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham, Solihull Hospital and various Community Services. We also run a number of smaller satellite units, allowing people to be treated as close to home as possible. As an NHS organisation, UHB will see and treat more than 2.2 million people every year across our sites UHB currently employs over 20,000 members of staff and we are committed to investing in their development and their health and wellbeing. The Trust is collecting more data in different formats (internal/external, structured/unstructured), which is both sensitive and highly confidential. The Trust has forthcoming implementations of Cloud-based ERP (transactional data), EPM (managerial data) systems, and other updated applications. Strategically the Trust is moving to a "Cloud first" approach to upgrade the legacy IT estate, and we require a mechanism for the safe implementation of these platforms and tools. Thus policies and procedures that provide the Trust control of our business data, both in the Cloud and in setups where data is stored or sourced in a combination of Cloud and on-premise, are required. ERP systems use automation and predefined business logic to orchestrate processes. All processes in an ERP, without exception, rely on the quality and reliable data. If the data is missing, the process will stop. If the data is wrong or incomplete, the process will produce unexpected results requiring remediation. It needs to be acknowledged that data will become the biggest challenge to the ERP programme and appropriate and knowledgeable resources equipped with capable tools must be on-boarded immediately which is where the data wrangling tool is needed. It is widely accepted that the success of the ERP migration will depend on the availability of quality data to be migrated, therefore a data wrangling tool is needed to obtain the data being migrated more efficiently. To access, review, investigate and resolve data integrity, validity and quality issues and combine data from numerous sources in a rapid timeframe, there is a need for appropriate software to deliver specific capabilities. (See Requirements & Briefing Note/ Annex 1 documents) Suppliers wishing to participate in this market engagement exercise and express an interest in this requirement should respond to the questionnaire via the online form on the Health Family Single eCommercial System Portal (Atamis) by 13:00 on Friday 28th April 2023. https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f1640f33-d25d-400b-b671-5d514063ec17 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 4 Apr 2023 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 28 Apr 2023 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UNIVERSITY HOSPITALS BIRMINGHAM NHS FOUNDATION TRUST | | Locality | BIRMINGHAM | | Post town | Birmingham | | Postcode | B15 1NU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG31 Birmingham | | Local authority | Birmingham | | Electoral ward | Edgbaston | | Westminster constituency | Birmingham Edgbaston | | Delivery location | TLG West Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ## Release History - 4 Apr 2023 at 11:17 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f1640f33-d25d-400b-b671-5d514063ec17 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f1640f33-d25d-400b-b671-5d514063ec17 4th April 2023 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
