This procurement falls under the goods category, with a total budget of £120,000. The current stage of the process is classified as "Planning," and it is pertinent for interested parties to note that all communication regarding this tender must be directed to http://health.atamis.co.uk. The deadline for submissions is set for 17:00 on 16th February 2022, after which the authority may negotiate a long-term contract with the existing supplier, FSH Technical Solutions, if no responses are received. This tender presents potential growth opportunities primarily for businesses with expertise in access control systems, particularly those familiar with the legacy software and hardware associated with Windows XP. Companies specialising in IT support, system maintenance, or technology solutions related to access control and security systems will find themselves well-positioned to compete. By engaging in this tender, such businesses can establish partnerships with a key healthcare provider and potentially secure a long-term contract that could extend for up to five years, aligning with the trust's plans for system replacement in the future. ## Notice All communication must be via http://health.atamis.co.uk Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (NUH) would like to engage with the market and understand market capability and interest in maintaining NUH's RiTA/Solicard access control system which runs on Window XP.
