Healthcare Output and Content Management System National Framework Agreement

Tender description

Lot 1: A healthcare output and content management system concerns the provision of hardware and softwaresolutions and services that enable an NHS organisation to manage its output and data silos typically presentwithin its best of breed clinical systems and other support systems. The system can be composed of severalmodular components which all work together to create a coherent platform for managing output and healthcarecontent to enrich hospitals’ existing investments in systems, such as, electronic patient record (EPR) systemsand Patient administration systems (PAS). At a high-level, the solution must provide: — user friendly, simple and clean single source access portal which presents data (stored and managedcontent) from all hospital clinical systems, —— ability to store electronically-generated healthcare content; —— ability to manage healthcare content throughout its lifecycle, providing auditable information andappropriate security; —— ability to capture and route new information from analogue and digital sources, including the provision of e-forms; —— enterprise based software licences to view, access, capture and route information; —— ability to integrate with scanning and archiving solutions; —— ability to integrate hardware (output device/MFD) with clinical systems; —— training and professional services for implementation and maintenance; —— software and hardware maintenance; —— appropriate hardware to facilitate transition to digital patient records and a digital enterprise. Total solution Bidders must offer a solution that encompasses all of the modular elements described in the ITT documents.These elements may be called-off and established individually to enable NHS organisations to adopt thistechnology with minimal impact to its patient services and available funding. Call-off contracts will include aroadmap of total or partial adoption. There is no obligation under this agreement for NHS organisations tocommit to purchase all available modules. However, for the avoidance of doubt, this framework cannot beutilised to award a managed print/hardware service with no intention to ever adopt other modules provisioned inthis framework. The purpose of this is to not distort the already well-established hardware market, which manyother framework agreements already service. This will be a framework agreement with no commitment or guaranteed level of business.
