## Summary

The procurement process involves the Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust as the buying organisation, with the project titled "Clinical Coding Support Services Dynamic Purchasing System." This procurement falls under the health and social work services category, specifically focused on services. The process is being conducted within the United Kingdom, with significant updates occurring on 16 November 2023. The tender stage is currently active, with the Dynamic Purchasing System being open to new applicants until 15 November 2027. The procurement method being used is selective, following a restricted procedure, and electronic submission through a designated portal is required.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for business growth, especially for companies specialising in clinical coding, data management, and healthcare-related IT services. The Dynamic Purchasing System facilitates diverse service types, including strategic business management, clinical governance, optimisation, and training. Businesses capable of delivering one or more of these service types can benefit from participating. The process allows for renewal, indicating possible long-term engagement and potential revenue from an estimated contract value of £8,000,000. Such opportunities are particularly suitable for enterprises with expertise in supporting clinical coding departments through advanced technical and strategic solutions. Businesses that can integrate efficiently with healthcare systems and deliver high-vizuality data are ideally positioned to leverage this procurement.

## Notice

The Clinical Coding department is responsible for the translation of medical terminology, as written by the clinician to describe a patient complaint, problem, diagnosis, treatment or reason for seeking medical attention, into a coded format which is nationally and internationally recognised to support both statistical and clinical uses. Coded clinical data (generated from classifications OPCS-4 and ICD-10) uses rules and conventions that, when applied accurately, result in the provision of high quality reporting to support secondary uses of data for statistical purposes - such as; operational and strategic planning, epidemiology, public health analyses of population health and reimbursement. This directly affects clinicians and all healthcare professionals, financial teams, information managers and data analysts, along with IT professionals. The Clinical Coding solutions available through this DPS will help Contracting Authorities to optimise and improve the performance and service delivery of Clinical Coding Departments. For the avoidance of doubt, Call Off Contracts that solely involve the supply of on-site temporary, interim or permanent Clinical Coder staff are not in-scope for this Dynamic Purchasing System.
