Technical requirements: This procurement is to supply off-the-shelf software products and vendor support to meet the requirements of themes 1 and 2.
Part 1 is a lot based competitive procurement that will award up to 19 individual contracts for Lot Solutions. The Contracts awarded at the end of Part 1 will support the Authority in conducting Part 2 which is referred to as the Solution Evolution and Evaluation (SE&E) Phase. The duration of the SE&E phase will have a duration of 13 months.
The purpose of the SE&E Phase is to determine the combination of contracts (up to 9) that may see their options exercised following approval of the CORTISONE Theme 1 and 2 Investment Approval Point Business Case. If approved, this option will cover the Live Phase of the programme which will have a duration of 36 months.
This Lot Solution will provide the foundation to enable the required business outcome of an integrated Electronic Health Record. An iEHR is an organised collection of patient healthcare data stored in a digital format.
This Lot Solution will deliver the underpinning Med IS architecture for CORTISONE that will allow clinicians/users to view, create, exchange and share health and healthcare information, across Defence (all DMS environments, fixed and deployed) and through a variety of secure interfaces, with various non-DMS healthcare providers (eg NHS (UK (‘four nation’ health services)), NATO and other allies). This will deliver the integration capability required to provide the backbone to enable interoperability, configurable user access points and information exchange across current and future interfaces.
Details of the Lot 1 requirements can be found in the Supporting Documents section of the PQQ under the titles ‘User Requirements Document (URD)’, ‘Requirements for Evaluation’ and ‘Statement of Requirement Document (SoRD)’.
A full description of this lot, and the estimated quantities required per phase, are also included in the Supporting Documents section of the PQQ.
Interested suppliers are required to complete the PQQ to provide information that allows the Authority to evaluate the supplier's capacities and capabilities against the selection criteria. The Authority will use the PQQ response to create a shortlist of tenderers who:
(4) Achieve one of the top 10 scores per lot in the PQQ. Suppliers will be given a score for each lot for which they wish to express an interest and those with the top 10 scores for each lot will be taken to the Invitation to Tender (ITT) stage of this procurement. It is important to note that a supplier might be taken through to the ITT stage for some lots but not others. There is no minimum score.
1 successful contractor per lot, following the Solution Evolution and Evaluation Phase, may have their contractual options exercised for a further period of up to 36 months for the Live phase. Whilst the Supplier must grant irrevocable options, the Authority is under no obligation to exercise these options.
Suppliers must log in, go to your Response Manager and add the following Access Code: BBQR436MSV and ensure you follow any instruction provided to you.
The deadline for submitting your response(s) is 20.3.2017 00:00. Please ensure that you allow yourself plenty of time when responding to this invite prior to the closing date and time, especially if you have been asked to upload documents.
This lot will enable the business outcome of an ability to exploit all the healthcare data in records by transforming it into useful information.
The Lot Solution will enable data from anywhere in the medical information services architecture to be used to produce reports at any level of abstraction. This will include simple reports for a single clinician about a single patient, aggregated statistics for military formation HQs and data analytics across the entire medical data set. The difference between this component and the reporting provided within a particular application is that all data in the architecture is available for reporting on as well as data from outside the medical domain.
Details of the Lot 2 requirements can be found in the Supporting Documents section of the PQQ under the titles ‘User Requirements Document (URD)’, ‘Requirements for Evaluation’ and ‘Statement of Requirement Document (SoRD)’.
