The Integrated Care System (ICS) using NNUH NHS Trust as a delivery vehicle is now looking for a technology partner to offer a complete managed service in Azure. To support us in designing, configuring, building, and monitoring a complete end-to-end Azure cloud environment, including security, RBAC and on-going enterprise level support. We are looking for a technical partner to work alongside us to help configure and build components of a cloud-based infrastructure to establish a system-wide data architecture for all of the health data in Norfolk and Waveney. The supplier will work with us to extend the current Azure configured data ingest area, to install and configure the infrastructure to support additional components such as a central integration engine, master patient index, persistent storage layer, and data processing functions (Azure Data Factory, HL7 message processing, etc).
