Currently at the planning stage, the procurement process has an engagement end date set for 11th January 2022, by which suppliers can express interest and respond to a market engagement questionnaire to inform the final specifications of the contract. This procurement falls under the software package and information systems category in the West Midlands, United Kingdom. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in software development, particularly those with solutions related to health service management and operational efficiency. Suppliers who can demonstrate capabilities in enhancing outpatient management processes will be well-suited to compete. The market engagement phase invites small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to participate, allowing them to showcase innovative approaches to improve service delivery in a dynamic healthcare environment. ## Notice University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust ("UHB") is a large speciality teaching hospital that runs the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham (QEHB), Birmingham Chest Clinic, Heartlands Hospital, Good Hope Hospital, Solihull Hospital and various community services across the region. The Trust is now looking to source a solution which replaces the current ways of working for managing outpatient rooms and to support the improvement of booking processes to ensure maximum utilisation of all available capacity at the Trust. The Trust aims to optimise the allocation and use of rooms within all of its sites (circa 500 outpatient rooms) as well as maximising the number of service users seen by clinicians. This in return is expected to give the opportunity for Outpatient services to increase the availability, quality of service and achieve or exceed targets. Suppliers who are able to offer solutions relevant to this requirement are invited to express an interest and respond to a market engagement questionnaire. Further details on how to do this are contained within the additional information section of this notice. This exercise is intended to provide potential bidders with the opportunity to review the Authority's Briefing Document and to provide information regarding the services they can offer that could meet these outline requirements. This builds on the Authority's commitment to engage with the market, by sharing information and seeking input from the market to enable us to develop the final specification and determine the appropriate route to market in a fair and transparent manner.
