This procurement falls under the IT services category, specifically focused on consulting, software development, and support. The tender is open and is set to close on 18th August 2017, with a contract period commencing on 2nd October 2017 and ending on 1st January 2018. The estimated contract value is between £25,000 and £50,000, and it invites participation primarily from small and medium enterprises (SMEs). This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in IT services, medical software development, and support systems, particularly those that can enhance electronic referral processes within healthcare. With collaborative healthcare initiatives on the rise, firms equipped with innovative solutions that improve local patient access and referrals will find this an ideal marketplace. SMEs, as well as voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs), may find their propositions well-suited to fulfill the requirements outlined by the contracting authority. ## Notice A regional Spine Network is being established across South East London and Kent. The project is being led by King's College Hospital, London with clinical leadership from King's and Guy's Hospitals with financial support from NHS England. Attached to this work is the redesign of one common electronic spine referral system (non-emergency) which will put 'Triage and Treat services' at the heart of Spine assessment and management - encouraging patients to be seen locally and more quickly wherever possible and clarifying the process for referrals which require a surgical opinion. Clinical Spine leads have worked together to develop clinical pathways in Spine that will be embedded in the Spine referral system. This system will allow for improved data collection, reporting and tracking of referrals. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9acfbb92-ff3f-4285-bee4-02c9c535f2e0 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 12 Jul 2017 | | Submission deadline | 18 Aug 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Oct 2017 - 1 Jan 2018 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £50,000 | | 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 | KING'S COLLEGE HOSPITAL NHS FOUNDATION TRUST | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South East London | | Postcode | SE5 9NY | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI45 Lambeth | | Local authority | Lambeth | | Electoral ward | Herne Hill & Loughborough Junction | | Westminster constituency | Dulwich and West Norwood | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ## Release History - 12 Jul 2017 at 09:57 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9acfbb92-ff3f-4285-bee4-02c9c535f2e0 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9acfbb92-ff3f-4285-bee4-02c9c535f2e0 12th July 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-London:-Provision-of-Regional-Electronic-Referral-system/V966V34X95 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
