The Scottish Government (SG) has engaged NHS National Services Scotland (NSS) to deliver an electronic consent form application that can integrate multiple digital signatures into various forms held within a Document management system. The initial use case is for the solution to standardise the process for adult SACT consent across Scotland, with the potential of expanding the scope to include further use cases and should be capable of being rolled out to other clinical specialties over time such as paediatric SACT, clinical trials, radiotherapy, or surgery. The solution will enable the completed form and the data for each completed SACT form to be integrated into each patient's medical record and support Public Health Scotland (PHS) in the collection and analysis of SACT data in partnership with Cancer Research UK. Patients receiving SACT therapy may have to travel between health boards for treatment. As such, ensuring visibility of the consent form to patients and appropriate health professionals who need to view it, while ensuring robust security and patient confidentiality are essential requirements. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/032866-2022 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | 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 | 18 Nov 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 30 Jan 2023 | | 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 | THE COMMON SERVICES AGENCY (MORE COMMONLY KNOWN AS NHS NATIONAL SERVICES SCOTLAND) ("NSS") | | Locality | EDINBURGH | | Post town | Edinburgh | | Postcode | EH12 9EB | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM1 East Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM13 City of Edinburgh | | Local authority | City of Edinburgh | | Electoral ward | Drum Brae/Gyle | | Westminster constituency | Edinburgh South West | | Delivery location | TLM Scotland | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ## Release History - 18 Nov 2022 at 17:03 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/032866-2022 ## Notice URLs - http://www.nss.nhs.scot/browse/procurement-and-logistics - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000713721 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=713721 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/Search_AuthProfile.aspx?ID=AA11883 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
