## Summary

The Northern Ireland Ambulance Service HSC Trust (NIAS), represented by the Procurement and Logistics Service, is in the planning stage of a tender for the replacement of its Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) systems for both emergency and non-emergency services. This procurement falls under the IT services category and addresses a crucial aspect of health and social care in the UK. The Request for Information (RFI) is expected to progress within the next 12 months, pending necessary approvals, with the future notice date set for 22nd October 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the IT and software development sectors, particularly those specialising in consulting and dispatch system solutions. Companies that are well-versed in providing technology services to public sector organisations, especially in the health sector, would be ideally positioned to compete. Engaging with this procurement process could lead to sustained partnerships with the NIAS, as they look to enhance their operational capabilities in managing emergency responses effectively.
