This project falls within the health industry category and is located in Edinburgh, UK. The procurement is in the planning stage, with a key date for market engagement documented as December 1, 2017. NSS aims to set up a multi-supplier framework to provide patient administration and clinical systems that will support NHS Scotland's community services, which include implementation, testing, support, and training services. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses that specialise in IT services and system integration within the healthcare sector. Companies capable of providing managed services for clinical systems, as well as those with experience interfacing with NHS and health and social care systems, would be particularly well-suited to compete for contracts stemming from this framework. Businesses interested in participating are encouraged to register their interest on the Public Contracts Scotland website to receive updates and any relevant documentation related to this procurement initiative. ## Notice Patient administration and clinical systems delivered as a managed service to support the delivery of Community services within NHS Scotland. This will include, but not limited to, implementation, development, testing, support and training services, and optional software modules. The services are to be made available pursuant to a multi-supplier framework by NSS on behalf of NHSScotland Health Boards premises from which Community primary medical care services are provided. Suppliers appointed to the framework will be required to interface and integrate to other clinical and business systems in Health & Social Care. ### Lot Information Lot 1 It is the intention of NSS to enter into a multi-supplier framework pursuant to which Community IT patient administration and clinical systems are to be delivered as a managed service.
