This tender aims to find an expert supplier to develop comprehensive guidance for IoT (Internet of Things) implementation across NHS organisations, aiding in future connectivity planning and investment. The procurement process is currently in the tender stage, with the open procedure deadline set for 2nd September 2024. The contract period is from 1st October 2024 to 31st March 2025, and it pertains to various locations including the United Kingdom, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories, and globally. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those with expertise in IoT technologies and solutions. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are especially encouraged to participate, given the suitability criteria. The successful bidder will contribute to shaping future digital infrastructure within the NHS, potentially leading to long-term partnerships and further projects. Companies proficient in creating scalable IoT frameworks that enhance connectivity, operational efficiency, and patient care are well-positioned to benefit from this opportunity. ## Notice The purpose of conducting this RFP is for an expert supplier to create meaningful and practical guidance that can be used across the NHS in a consistent way to inform and direct future planning and investment on this topic. The supplier must produce a report for the Future Connectivity programme to provide guidance for the target audience at NHS organisations across England. The target audience of the report is Integrated Care System (ICS) or NHS Trust Chief Information Officers and their Network, Service and Operational Estates Managers, as they will be responsible for defining, supporting, and delivering local IT strategies for IoT implementation and maintenance across NHS Trusts and ICS Partner organisations. The focus of the report should be on how understanding IoT connectivity infrastructure and architecture requirements and investing in IoT capabilities can deliver long term cost efficiency and connectivity benefits to the NHS, supporting better quality, more efficient and safer patient care. It should also recognise increasing future digital demand that will be placed on networks, as outlined by the NHS England Future Connectivity Programme (Future Connectivity - NHS Digital). There is no intention to create mandatory policy or standards at this stage.
