The purpose of this procurement is to deliver a system that can integrate multiple digital signatures into various forms used in Systemic Anti-Cancer Therapy (SACT) across Scotland. The tender was initiated by the Scottish Government to enhance the management and standardization of consent processes within the medical sector. The closing date for future notices related to this tender is set for January 30, 2023.

Companies with expertise in electronic consent forms, digital content management, and data integration systems are well-suited to compete for this contract. The successful bidder will have the chance to contribute to improving the efficiency and accuracy of consent processes within the healthcare system, ultimately enhancing patient care and data management practices in collaboration with public health authorities and research organizations. ## Notice Cancer Research UK (CRUK) has an extensive consent form library (in PDF format) used for Systemic Anti-Cancer Therapy (SACT).The Scottish Government (SG) has engaged NHS National Services Scotland (NSS) to deliver an electronic consent form application that can integrate multiple digital signatures into various forms held within a Document management system. ### Lot Information Lot 1 NHS National Services Scotland is exploring the options for the possible procurement of an electronic consent form application with digital content management and to further understand the current landscape and capabilities. The Scottish Government (SG) has engaged NHS National Services Scotland (NSS) to deliver an electronic consent form application that can integrate multiple digital signatures into various forms held within a Document management system. The initial use case is for the solution to standardise the process for adult SACT consent across Scotland, with the potential of expanding the scope to include further use cases and should be capable of being rolled out to other clinical specialties over time such as paediatric SACT, clinical trials, radiotherapy, or surgery. The solution will enable the completed form and the data for each completed SACT form to be integrated into each patient's medical record and support Public Health Scotland (PHS) in the collection and analysis of SACT data in partnership with Cancer Research UK. Patients receiving SACT therapy may have to travel between health boards for treatment. As such, ensuring visibility of the consent form to patients and appropriate health professionals who need to view it, while ensuring robust security and patient confidentiality are essential requirements. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV464772 | | Notice type | OJEU - F1 - Prior Information 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 | 18 Nov 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 30 Jan 2023 | | 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 - 18 Nov 2022 at 00:00 - Planning - OJEU - F1 - Prior Information Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV464772 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=NOV464772&idx=1 18th November 2022 - SACT e-Consent Market Sounding Exercise - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV464772 SACT e-Consent - Cancer Research UK (CRUK) has an extensive consent form library (in PDF format) used for Systemic Anti-Cancer Therapy (SACT).The Scottish Government (SG) has engaged NHS National Services Scotland (NSS) to deliver an electronic consent form application that can integrate multiple digital signatures into various forms held within a Document management system. ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.nss.nhs.scot/browse/procurement-and-logistics - http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=713721 - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000713721 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
