## Summary

The Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust has recently awarded a contract for a National Framework Agreement for Legacy Information Integration and Management. This procurement process involved seeking solutions for legacy information management in the healthcare sector. The opportunity was open for tender, with the tender closing on 27th February 2023. The awarded contract, valued at £1 GBP, was signed on 7th September 2023. The buying organisation aimed to streamline access to archived patient data and required an archive solution to integrate seamlessly with live patient records systems.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses specializing in healthcare IT solutions, particularly those experienced in legacy data management and cloud-based archives. Companies providing advanced patient data integration services and technical support are well-suited to compete. The procurement stage was open to all suppliers, with a focus on technical functionality, service quality, data migration, and cost factors. The awarded contract went to Interneuron CIC, illustrating successful competition in this specialised sector within the healthcare industry.

## Notice

Commercial Procurement Services seeks to introduce a new Framework Agreement which will allow NHS Trusts to procure legacy information integration and management solutions. When NHS organisations migrate from either a Patient Administration System (PAS) to an Electronic Patient Records (EPR) system, or move from one EPR to another, much of the clinical patient data held in the previous system and other legacy systems is archived. Access to this data is through an archived version of the legacy system(s) and requires a separate login, making accessing this patient data a slow process. The organisation is then required to maintain archive contracts for one or more legacy systems, which may be unsupported, in order to allow continued access to the archived patient data. This framework relates to the procurement of a cloud-based or on-site archive which interfaces directly with the live EPR, so clinicians can access archived clinical patient data seamlessly from within the live EPR. The data is extracted, analysed and migrated to the new system, ensuring the data is usable in the new system.
