Patient-monitoring system

Tender description

Telehealth Technology Services on behalf of NHS Liverpool Clinical Commissioning Group (LCCG) Contract Value: Ranges from Min = 2 400 000 GBP to a Max = 14 400 000 GBP. LCCG originally issued a PIN for Telehealth Services in February 2016.. The purpose of this PIN Notice is to make potential providers aware that it intends to issue a tender for Telehealth Technology Services in August, and that the potential contract value may be higher than originally estimated. Telehealth (often referred to as remote patient monitoring) — refers to the use of various point-of-care technologies to monitor a patient's physiological status and health conditions remotely from home or while on the move. Readings and symptoms are transmitted to a central system where they are monitored against limits set by the individuals' clinician. Evidence that vital signs are outside of ‘normal’ triggers an alert, allowing a clinician to intervene promptly, usually without the patient needing to attend a clinic.

Evidence that vital signs are outside of ‘normal’ triggers an alert, allowing a clinician to intervene promptly, usually without the patient needing to attend a clinic. The patient recruitment/assessment, back-end clinical monitoring and clinical support elements of the overall Telehealth service will be retained as part of LCCG's NHS Community Health Services provision, which is currently subject to a separate procurement exercise. In this tender, LCCG will therefore be seeking to procure a Telehealth Technology Service Provider to deliver a flexible and innovative service to support the clinical provider.
