The tender, titled "Specialist Resources required to support Covid Vaccine Booking System and Child Health System," is currently at the award stage. DHCW, based in Cardiff, UK, utilised a limited procurement method due to the urgent nature of the upgrade, which must be completed by 22nd March 2022. The total contract value is capped at £400,000, with external resources being essential to ensure the continuity and efficiency of the upgrade process ahead of the current version becoming obsolete on 31st March 2022. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses with expertise in Oracle implementations and health system upgrades, particularly those capable of working under tight deadlines. Companies specialising in IT services, particularly large firms with experience in public health contracts, would be well-positioned to leverage this opportunity. Engaging with the DHCW not only allows for immediate project involvement but also paves the way for future collaborations on other critical healthcare IT projects, especially given the flexibility for additional work-packages as issues may arise during implementation. ## Notice The Authority requires external specialist resources to complete the implementation of the Oracle platform upgrade, which both the Covid Vaccine Booking System and Child Health System are built upon. Upgrading to a supported version is both critical and mandatory and must be completed before the current version becomes end of life on 31st March 2022. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Authority has identified that Oracle support on the existing Oracle platform, which the Covid Vaccine booking system and the Child Health system, which registers and schedules immunisations, are built upon, becomes end of life on 31st March 2022. Upgrading to a supported version of the Oracle Platform which is the underpinning technology is both critical and mandatory to ensure that the vaccination programme is able to operate and take on the new challenges ahead. As internal resources have been diverted to support the Covid-19 Vaccine requirements it has been agreed at an executive level that the upgrade and associated packages of work to support the vaccine programme need to be sourced and delivered from a third-party supplier. Options: Additional work-packages may be called off as and when required but will be subject to Authority approval. The expenditure against this contract will be robustly managed and a close working relationship with the stakeholders will be developed to ensure that the call offs under this Contract are minimised. ### Procurement Information The Authority uses Oracle to deliver a number of its critical systems such as the Covid Vaccine booking system and the Child Health system, which registers and schedules immunisations. The Oracle upgrade required as part of the initial work-package is urgent and needs to be completed by 22nd March 2022. The Authority does not currently have the internal Oracle knowledge and expertise to deliver this requirement and as a result it was agreed that to ensure the upgrade was delivered at pace and within the necessary timescales, a the third-party provider would be engaged to provide their specialist Oracle resources. The utilisation of a third-party also enables the DHCW Team to continue working on other critical projects, such as Covid Vaccine developments. The third party supplier will provide the planning and management of the upgrade implementation and will deploy a team to deliver this activity and future activity, as opposed to the provision of a technical resource only. This gives the Authority greater flexibility and continuity to manage ongoing resource constraints. These resources are essential to support the delivery of the urgent Oracle upgrade required. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Sell2Wales | | Latest notice | https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=118033 | | Notice type | OJEU - F15 - Voluntary Ex Ante Transparency Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 2 Feb 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 3 Jan 2022 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £400,000 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DIGITAL HEALTH AND CARE WALES ("DHCW") | | Locality | CARDIFF | | Post town | Cardiff | | Postcode | CF11 9AD | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL5 South East Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL52 Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan | | Local authority | Cardiff | | Electoral ward | Riverside | | Westminster constituency | Cardiff West | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | TPXIMPACT | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 72212610 - Database software development services ## Release History - 2 Feb 2022 at 00:00 - Award - OJEU - F15 - Voluntary Ex Ante Transparency Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=118033 ## Documents - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=FEB387255 Specialist Resources required to support Covid Vaccine Booking System and Child Health System - The Authority requires external specialist resources to complete the implementation of the Oracle platform upgrade, which both the Covid Vaccine Booking System and Child Health System are built upon.
