This will replace the existing disparate systems across Health Boards and action the recommendation set out in the Infection Prevention Workforce Strategic Plan - 2022 to 2024 'To progress the work for a national eSurveillance system for Scotland, with the support of local and national stakeholders'. The national solution will need to: - Integrate and be interoperable with some of the numerous NHS Scotland existing systems. - Provide efficient local and national reporting. - Provide real time data (e.g. providing alerts to flag identification of an infection, provide up to date reporting) - Be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and must have an extremely high degree of resilience in order to minimise any periods of scheduled or unscheduled downtime. Vendors of future solutions should note that this resilience should include but not be limited to Failover and Disaster Recovery of the system with limited technical intervention. This soft market test is being conducted to determine what solutions may be available, determine the scope of any future procurement to enable the delivery of a national solution, and to ascertain indicative costs. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/003159-2025 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | 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 | 30 Jan 2025 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 15 Jun 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 | THE COMMON SERVICES AGENCY (MORE COMMONLY KNOWN AS NHS NATIONAL SERVICES SCOTLAND) (NSS) | | Locality | EDINBURGH | | Post town | Edinburgh | | Postcode | EH12 9EB | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM1 East Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM13 City of Edinburgh | | Local authority | City of Edinburgh | | Electoral ward | Drum Brae/Gyle | | Westminster constituency | Edinburgh South West | | Delivery location | TLM Scotland | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ## Release History - 30 Jan 2025 at 16:01 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/003159-2025 ## Notice URLs - http://www.nss.nhs.scot/browse/procurement-and-logistics - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000789140 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=789140 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/Search_AuthProfile.aspx?ID=AA11883 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
