The West Midlands Regional Clinical Genetics Service at Birmingham Women's Hospital specialises in the diagnosis and management of conditions with a known or probable genetic origin. We are the largest Clinical Genetics Service in England. We shave over 100 members of staff, receiving over a 1000 referrals each month. Within the cancer pathway our patients have been referred due to having a cancer diagnosis themselves or a relative having with cancer. Patients often get referred to us with the following questions. * Am I or members of my family at an increased risk of developing cancer? * Is there extra cancer screening? * Are there any things I can do to reduce my risk? * Can I have a genetic test? * Inform their current treatment options. To be able to answer these questions we need to make a full assessment of a patient's family history which requires the patient to complete a family history form. The current family history form is paper-based the information provided in this form currently requires manual entry and/or updating by our admin & genetic counsellor staff. Once the family history has been received we use this to form a pedigree of the family. When all the available information has been sought, the clinical team use this data to calculate personal cancer risks by using specific cancer risk assessment tools to answer the questions above. A digital solution is required to be able to streamline all the above and mitigate risks within the current process and outdated software currently in use. Suppliers who are able to offer a solution relevant to this requirement are invited to express an interest and respond to a market engagement questionnaire. Further details on how to do this are contained within the additional information section of this notice. This exercise is intended to provide potential bidders with the opportunity to review the Authority's draft specification and to provide information regarding the services they can offer that could meet these outline requirements. This builds on the Authority's commitment to engage with the market, by sharing information and seeking input from the market to enable us to develop the final specification and determine the appropriate route to market in a fair and transparent manner. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/017590-2021 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Jul 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 30 Sep 2021 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BIRMINGHAM WOMEN'S AND CHILDREN'S NHS FOUNDATION TRUST | | Locality | BIRMINGHAM | | Post town | Birmingham | | Postcode | B4 6NH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG31 Birmingham | | Local authority | Birmingham | | Electoral ward | Ladywood | | Westminster constituency | Birmingham Ladywood | | Delivery location | TLG3 West Midlands | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems ### Codes - 48100000 - Industry specific software package - 48180000 - Medical software package - 48219300 - Administration software package - 48814400 - Clinical information system ## Release History - 23 Jul 2021 at 21:45 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/017590-2021 ## Notice URLs - https://nhs.bravosolution.co.uk/go/24461164017AD267153C - https://nhs.bravosolution.co.uk/nhs_collaborative/web/login.html - https://www.uhb.nhs.uk/home.htm ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
