The project aims to integrate digital signatures into various forms for cancer treatment, with the potential for expanding to other clinical specialties. The procurement stage is currently in the planning phase with a future notice date of 3rd February 2023. This opportunity can benefit businesses providing services in health technology, digital transformation, and document management. Companies with expertise in electronic consent systems, digital signature integration, and healthcare data management are well-suited to compete for this contract. The project's focus on enhancing patient care, data integration, and public health collaboration presents a significant growth opportunity for businesses in the healthcare technology sector. ## 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=JAN468915 | | 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 Jan 2023 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 3 Feb 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 Jan 2023 at 00:00 - Planning - OJEU - F1 - Prior Information Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JAN468915 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=JAN468915&idx=1 18th January 2023 - SACT e-Consent Suppliers Brief - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JAN468915 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=719524 - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000719524 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
