The Trust is seeking a solution that replaces the current software for storing electronic media types. The main objective is to improve operational performance, patient outcomes, and staff ways of working. The procurement method and timeline are not finalised yet, with a planned future notice date of 1st April 2024. This tender opportunity can benefit businesses that provide software packages and information systems. Companies with expertise in healthcare technology and content management solutions would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Interested suppliers should be prepared to support the Trust's direction towards a paperless environment and integration with patient portals and the NHS App. The upcoming procurement process may involve a competitive process via a mini-competition under a framework or an openly advertised procedure. ## Notice University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust (UHB) is one of the largest teaching hospital Trusts in England and the West Midlands, serving a regional, national and international population. It includes Birmingham Heartlands Hospital, Birmingham Chest Clinic, Good Hope Hospital, the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham, Solihull Hospital and various Community Services. We also run a number of smaller satellite units, allowing people to be treated as close to home as possible. UHB is a Foundation Trust employing around 24,000 members of staff and we are committed to investing in their development and health and wellbeing. UHB treats over 2.2 million patients each year, and has 2,366 in-patient beds over 105 wards in addition to 115 children's beds and 145 day-case beds. The trust operates 7,127 outpatient and 304 community clinics per week. ### Lot Information Lot 1 UHB is looking to source a solution from suppliers which replaces the current Enterprise Content Management Platform software for the storage of all types of electronic medias. This will aim to scan, store and retrieve all electronic based media types across the clinical, administrative and corporate areas across UHB to improve operational performance; improve patient outcomes and improve ways of working for staff. The primary role of this software is to electronically store part of the patient electronic clinical record as we continue our direction towards a paperless environment. The current solution has been in use since 2009 and has 125 million documents that are across two instances (because of a hospital mergers). These documents are regularly accessed by our clinicians to deliver high quality patient care. Over the last decade there has been a national drive to allow patients to have access to the information we hold. This has been achieved in the NHS via local patient portals or via the national NHS App. Currently this information is limited to referral or appointment data, but the national trend is to make all electronic media that we hold available to patients. This solution must be able to support this strategy via integration with patient portals and /or the NHS App. As well as the above requirements, The Trust is seeking an overview on the management and support that can be provided on an on-going basis from interested suppliers. Additional information: Potential bidders are asked to note that the route to market has not yet been decided and therefore the procurement timetable has not been finalised. The Authority will make a final decision on the most appropriate route market following this engagement exercise. This may be a direct award via an existing public sector framework agreement or alternatively, the Authority may decide to run a competitive process via a mini-competition under a framework or an openly advertised procedure. If the latter, the publication of the ITT will include the publication of a Contract Notice, a Contracts Finder notice, and the ITT documents will be published on the Authority' Atamis e-tendering system. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/033956-2023 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | 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 | 16 Nov 2023 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 31 Mar 2024 | | 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 | UNIVERSITY HOSPITALS BIRMINGHAM NHS FOUNDATION TRUST | | Locality | BIRMINGHAM | | Post town | Birmingham | | Postcode | B15 2WB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG31 Birmingham | | Local authority | Birmingham | | Electoral ward | Edgbaston | | Westminster constituency | Birmingham Edgbaston | | Delivery location | TLG West Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems ### Codes - 48000000 - Software package and information systems ## Release History - 16 Nov 2023 at 14:39 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/033956-2023 ## Notice URLs - https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome - https://www.uhb.nhs.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
