The procurement method is classified as limited, where the award procedure did not require prior publication of a call for competition, owing to the software's bespoke nature developed specifically for the Lanarkshire Data Sharing Partnership. This process is currently in the Award stage, with key actions completed on 20th June 2017. The regional classification indicates it falls under the health industry category. This opportunity for business growth is particularly suitable for specialised software developers and IT service providers with experience in bespoke system maintenance and multi-agency communication solutions. Companies that have expertise in complex IT systems and can navigate the challenges of bespoke software will find this contract aligns with their capabilities. With NHS Lanarkshire being a body governed by public law, successful engagement in this tender could pave the way for future collaborations within the public health sector. ## Notice Maintenance and development of custom developed multi-agency e-messaging software ### Lot Information Lot 1 The software is a 16 years old electronic message routing system established to share alerts, notifications and assessments about clients/patients between agencies.
