Inititial Market Sounding - PEPPOL Advisory Services

Tender description

Why the Work is Being Done At this point only expressions of interest are required detailing the supplier's skills, previous client examples, and an indication of the team that will deliver services. Department of Health is still considering the procurement strategy and suppliers should note that we may choose not to pursue an actual procurement. Any responses provided by suppliers is at their cost and risk only. Problem to Be Solved DH has an agreed business case for deployment of GS1 and PEPPOL standards across six NHS Trust Demonstrator sites. The case covers a work programme involving all suppliers and relevant technology providers, as well as the Demonstrator sites, spanning a five-year period from April-14 to March-19. DH is already registered as the PEPPOL Authority for the NHS in England. It is our intention to incubate the PEPPOL Authority in DH, with a view to it being transferred to Cabinet Office as a solution for wider UK government. Colleagues in Cabinet Office and CCS are aware of this activity.
