Tender description

Commercial Procurement Services seeks to introduce a new Framework Agreement which will allow NHS Trusts to procure legacy information integration and management solutions. When NHS organisations migrate from either a Patient Administration System (PAS) to an Electronic Patient Records (EPR) system, or move from one EPR to another, much of the clinical patient data held in the previous system and other legacy systems is archived. Access to this data is through an archived version of the legacy system(s) and requires a separate login, making accessing this patient data a slow process. The organisation is then required to maintain archive contracts for one or more legacy systems, which may be unsupported, in order to allow continued access to the archived patient data. This framework relates to the procurement of a cloud-based or on-site archive which interfaces directly with the live EPR, so clinicians can access archived clinical patient data seamlessly from within the live EPR. The data is extracted, analysed and migrated to the new system, ensuring the data is usable in the new system.
