### Lot Information

Lot 1

SHSC is currently working towards deploying the Rio EPR. There will be an initial Go live in March of 2023 with further functionality being added throughout 2023. Unlike our current EPR system, Rio will be linked to NHS Spine services, including Summary Care record and users will therefore need appropriate checks and privileges to enable them to log on. SHSC also has some services that use SystmOne for specialist services and some users access information stored on SystmOne via the SystmOne record viewer.
The Trust has a small number of users with Smartcards currently, which are managed in house by the HR department. 
We require a Registration Authority Bureau service to assist us to set up and deploy an NHS Care Identity Service 2 (CIS2) solution (which may include physical smartcards, virtual smartcards and Yubikeys) for around 2,500 users ahead of, and following, the Rio go live, and covering all our clinical systems. This is for the period from November 2022 to March 2024. 
This may be subject to extension for a further 3 years. 
You must either already be registered with NHS Digital as a Registration Authority or have registered prior to the delivery of this contract.
