Lot 1: License, Support & Maintenance for XPR/PAS Access to XPR Database that is managed by Dedalus and is directly linked to the Patient Administration system (PAS). With encompass roll out not due to complete until 2025, the new NIDIS service still needs to be able to send demographics and HCN number data to the XPR for those Trusts still using PAS. Without this there is a risk to patient safety and will cause fragmentation of patient records. These services have been supplied by Dedalus as part of their Managed Service until now. The services are required until Encompass is live in all 5 Trusts. The prices, volumes and duration of the DAC will be minimised by cancelling the contract as soon as Encompass is live in all 5 Trusts and there is no longer a requirement for the service. The long-standing relationship that BSO has with the current patient administration system (PAS), currently managed by Dedalus, has enabled us to obtain similar pricing to what was previously purchased under the Steria contract. Dedalus has taken into consideration the length of service from the previous 3rd party providers contract when creating a quotation directly for BSO. There will be no requirement for this service once Encompass is live in all of the five Trusts. In terms of duration, is there will be no further need to "keep the lights on" the system beyond encompass go live on all Trusts as NIDIS will no longer need to access XPR when encompass fully live.
