## Summary

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust is seeking solutions for the Smart Infusion Pump Communication and Programming Project (Middleware), focused on enhancing the integration between ICU Medical infusion pumps and the iQemo Chemotherapy prescribing system. This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically in the software package and information systems industry, and is being conducted through a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract was signed on 31 January 2022, with a total value of £200,000, and is currently active. The delivery addresses are located in the UKD3 region.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

- Implementation of Mednet middleware software - Completion of drug library - Bi-directional interface with chemotherapy e-prescribing software - Licenses - Project Management

### Procurement Information

The Trust utilises ICU Medical pumps across the organisation. The ICU Medical pumps can only interface with Mednet (the ICU middleware) and cannot interface with any third party software. The Trust utilises iQemo for all of its chemotherapy prescribing. Mednet interfaces with iQemo in order to provide the required functionality around progress and will via this contract development take the programming for the pump directly from the prescription in iQemo; bi-directional interfaces between iQemo and Mednet have been developed for this purpose and the contract will see these interfaces being further refined and developed. These functionalities require access to the ICU Medical pumps and to the patient prescription, demographic and other information in iQemo, and will also impact on the chair scheduling module currently in use within iQemo.
