This procurement process, focusing on the "Software package and information systems" industry category, is currently in the planning stage. Interested suppliers must express their interest by responding to the online questionnaire via the Health Family Single eCommercial System Portal (Atamis) by 16:00 on Friday, 23rd August 2024. Located in the UKG region, UHB oversees several hospitals including Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham, and is well-regarded for its high standards in patient care, technology, and research. The procurement process is anticipated to progress with future notices expected around March 2025. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in software and information systems, particularly those with expertise in enterprise content management and NHS systems. The scope involves replacing the current platform, which has been in use since 2009, and managing the storage and retrieval of electronic media types to support the clinical Electronic Patient Record (EPR). Suppliers with experience in data migration, integration with NHS systems, and those capable of enhancing patient and clinician access to records will find this tender particularly relevant. This initiative not only promises to modernise UHB's systems but also aligns with the national strategy to make electronic health information more accessible to patients, hence it presents immense business growth potential for suitable vendors. ## Notice This notice was originally published towards the end of 2023 and has been reissued with additional information. University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust ("UHB") is one of the UK's largest NHS Trusts that runs the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham, Birmingham Chest Clinic, Heartlands Hospital, Good Hope Hospital, Solihull Hospital, and various community services across the region, and is one of the highest performing Health organisations in Europe with a proven international reputation for its quality of care, information technology, clinical education and training and research. The trust 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 outpatients' and 304 community clinics per week with a workforce of over 20,000 members of staff. ### 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 media and a clinical record viewer. This will aim to scan, store and retrieve all electronic based media types to support our clinical Electronic Patient Record and to improve operational performance; improve patient outcomes and improve ways of working for staff. The 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 106 million documents covering 4.6 million patients record and sized at 40TB (PDF's 36.74TB and 0.3 TB thumbnails). These documents are regularly accessed by our clinicians to deliver high quality patient care. Documents are currently accessed and viewed by an inhouse viewer. 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 local shared care records, patient portals and /or the NHS App. As well as the above requirements the Trust would also be looking for a new supplier to have experience of migrating data from our current Enterprise Content Management solution and experience work delivering in the NHS market. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/025297-2024 | | 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 | 9 Aug 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 30 Mar 2025 | | 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 2GW | | 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 - 9 Aug 2024 at 15:24 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/025297-2024 ## Notice URLs - https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome - https://www.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.
