## Summary

The Business Services Organisation I T S has awarded a contract titled "Dedalus- PAS/XPR Services" for IT services to Dedalus. The procurement process followed a limited procurement method, specifically negotiated without publication of a contract notice. The contract, valued at £308,356.95 GBP, was signed on 8th March 2024. This contract is in the services category and involves providing License, Support & Maintenance for XPR/PAS services related to patient administration.

This contract presents business growth opportunities for IT service providers specialising in consulting, software development, and Internet support. Companies with expertise in managing databases, patient administration systems, and IT support are well-suited to compete. As the contract involves a particular economic operator, it highlights the importance of technical expertise in fulfilling the services required. The project location is in the UK, providing opportunities for local businesses to engage in providing critical IT services to enhance patient safety and streamline healthcare operations.

## Notice

License, Support & Maintenance for XPR/PAS Access to XPR Database that is managed by Dedalus and is directly linked to the Patient Administration system (PAS). With encompass roll out not due to complete until 2025, the new NIDIS service still needs to be able to send demographics and HCN number data to the XPR for those Trusts still using PAS. Without this there is a risk to patient safety and will cause fragmentation of patient records.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

License, Support & Maintenance for XPR/PAS Access to XPR Database that is managed by Dedalus and is directly linked to the Patient Administration system (PAS). With encompass roll out not due to complete until 2025, the new NIDIS service still needs to be able to send demographics and HCN number data to the XPR for those Trusts still using PAS. Without this there is a risk to patient safety and will cause fragmentation of patient records. These services have been supplied by Dedalus as part of their Managed Service until now. The services are required until Encompass is live in all 5 Trusts. The prices, volumes and duration of the DAC will be minimised by cancelling the contract as soon as Encompass is live in all 5 Trusts and there is no longer a requirement for the service. The long-standing relationship that BSO has with the current patient administration system (PAS), currently managed by Dedalus, has enabled us to obtain similar pricing to what was previously purchased under the Steria contract. Dedalus has taken into consideration the length of service from the previous 3rd party providers contract when creating a quotation directly for BSO. There will be no requirement for this service once Encompass is live in all of the five Trusts. In terms of duration, is there will be no further need to "keep the lights on" the system beyond encompass go live on all Trusts as NIDIS will no longer need to access XPR when encompass fully live.
