The procurement, classified under goods and following an open procedure above threshold, is currently in the Tender stage, with submissions due by 14:00 on 9 December 2021. The project's focus is to enhance clinical education quality and operations by implementing new IT systems entirely separate from the NHS Trust currently used by the existing Dental School, located in the South West of England. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the IT and software development sectors, particularly those offering healthcare solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in patient administration systems are well-suited to compete, given the emphasis on innovative IT frameworks that can enhance patient, student, and staff experiences. Companies interested in this procurement can promote their capabilities in developing tailored software that meets the specific needs of educational healthcare institutions. ## Notice The University's new Dental School is aiming to open by September 2022. The Bristol Dental School is currently integrated and collocated with the Bristol Dental Hospital, which is run by the Universities Hospitals Bristol & Weston NHS Foundation Trust. As such, the IT systems currently used by the Dental School to facilitate clinical practice are those used by, and provided by, the NHS Trust. The intention of the New Dental School project is to separate the University's Dental School both physically and operationally from the Dental Hospital and the NHS Trust, creating a separate and independent Dental School and clinical facility based at a new dedicated location within Bristol. In conjunction with this move, the Dental School's operating model will be redefined to deliver enhancements to the quality of clinical education along with significant improvements to student, staff and patient experience. By separating from the NHS Trust, and the Dental Hospital, the New Dental School will need to procure a number of new IT systems to support the clinical practice elements of the school. This procurement is specifically for the provision of Patient Administration System (PAS) software.
