## Summary

The Wirral University Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust has completed the procurement process for the "Replacement Local Area Network (LAN)" project in the healthcare industry. This tender, valued at £500,000, was initiated to enhance the Trust's IT infrastructure, ensuring it meets contemporary demands for patient care and operational efficiency. The procurement method employed was a tender, with the contract period running from 1st March 2015 to 29th February 2016. The project delivery addresses are located in the North West region of the United Kingdom, and the tender period concluded on 4th February 2015.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in network technology and IT infrastructure, particularly those with proven solutions in scalable, resilient, and energy-efficient systems. Companies that focus on innovative technologies such as VOIP, video collaboration, and data centre enhancements would be well-positioned to compete for similar contracts, particularly those aimed at modernising healthcare services in the UK.

## Notice

Health service organisations such as WUTH are changing and evolving to meet increased demands placed upon those organisations. The increased reliance on IT services to underpin patient care has formed the basis of a revised IT network infrastructure strategy. This strategy will ensure the trust employs the correct technology to provide the enhanced service, security and IT functional capability required of a "digital hospital" patient care delivery model. In order to provide WUTH with the tools required to meet these demands the Trust requires an infrastructure that is: * Future proofed providing the capabilities for VOIP, Video and collaboration strategies for next generation working * Resilient and highly available ensuring the impact of any hardware failure is minimized * Cheaper to operate i.e. reduced power requirements * Easier to manage in order to increase IT operation efficiencies * Scalable ensuring the network can adapt to changing Trust requirements At the centre of any next generation medical IT application architecture is the infrastructure; more specifically the data centre. The data centre is the enabler for all of the above. The service is both bound and enabled by the technology foundation that underpins it. For Trusts such as WUTH that require next generation technology to provide the patient care agility and application delivery required to support this goal, the leading network vendors can now provide a suite of proven technologies to ensure WUTH can offer an enhanced level of IT service today, while enabling greater and more powerful applications harnessing the power of IP Voice, Video and Collaboration tomorrow.
