The procurement stage is currently active, with the tender closing on 26th July 2024. The contract period is set to start on 2nd September 2024 and end on 31st August 2027. The total contract value is £60,000 GBP. This opportunity falls under the services category and is suited for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). This tender from the Wirral Community NHS Foundation Trust presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in training simulators to provide a sustainable solution for EHR training. Businesses with expertise in simulation training software development and implementation would be well-suited to compete. The organisation aims to adopt new technologies to improve healthcare delivery, staff efficiency, and patient outcomes. By participating in this tender, businesses can contribute to enhancing digital maturity in healthcare and supporting a safer and more efficient care environment. ## Notice The organisation's Clinical Systems Team have provided a classroom-based training methodology for staff onboarding to the organisation and for clinical students who require training in the organisation's primary Electronic Health Record (EHR) system: System One. The training has historically been provided by a dedicated training professional within the team. Simulation training has been identified as a more sustainable approach to EHR training this was noted in the pre-market analysis which the organisation undertook prior to this tender opportunity. WCHC Digital Services are looking to procure a simulation training software solution for an initial 6-month pilot for training on the Trust's primary EHR system. In the event of a successful pilot, the organisation would be looking to retain the software solution as the primary method of System One training and explore further applications of the solution across the organisation. Neighbouring system partners such as Clatterbridge Cancer Centre (CCC) and Liverpool University Hospitals (LUFT) NHS Foundation Trusts have successfully incorporated simulation training into their organizations. WCHC want to ensure we remain current with emerging practices by implementing simulation training. WCHC's digital strategy states that "Our Vision is... to drive the highest standards of digital maturity so we can provide a workplace that enables our staff to deliver the safest and best possible care to our population and improve health outcomes throughout the communities we serve." A fundamental principle of this is supporting services to adopt new technology, with the ultimate aims of; supporting teams to deliver efficient, safe, high-quality care; helping people access services easily and manage their own health and wellbeing; improving wider population health; improving the working environment for our workforce. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/173b1207-8009-4d68-8c80-b0404a31f5cd | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 5 Jul 2024 | | Submission deadline | 26 Jul 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Sep 2024 - 31 Aug 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £60,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | WIRRAL COMMUNITY NHS FOUNDATION TRUST | | Locality | BIRKENHEAD, WIRRAL | | Post town | Chester | | Postcode | CH42 0LQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD7 Merseyside | | ITL 3 | TLD74 Wirral | | Local authority | Wirral | | Electoral ward | Birkenhead and Tranmere | | Westminster constituency | Birkenhead | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 34 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation ### Codes - 34152000 - Training simulators ## Release History - 5 Jul 2024 at 08:16 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/173b1207-8009-4d68-8c80-b0404a31f5cd ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/173b1207-8009-4d68-8c80-b0404a31f5cd 5th July 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.wirralct.nhs.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
