Technical requirements: The RFI documents are available on Doffin (Norwegian national notification database for public procurement, see link above) for suppliers who express their interest. International suppliers who are not registered users on Doffin may contact the Customer directly via the e-mail address indicated above in order to receive the RFI documents.
The Central Norway Regional Health Authority (“HMN”) and the City of Trondheim (hereafter “the Customer”), hereby invite interested companies and suppliers (“Supplier”) in the market to respond to this Request for Information (“RFI”). The RFI is carried out by the programme organisation “Helseplattformen” on behalf of the Customer.
The Customer is currently in a process of acquiring one common EHR solution for the specialist and primary health care in the region. The new EHR solution will replace existing EHR solutions for both HMN and the municipalities in the region. In addition to HMN and the City of Trondheim, also the other municipalities, as well as the General Practitioners (GP) in the region, shall be considered as future users of the EHR solution. The aim is that the solution will provide significantly more and new functionality compared to current systems. This includes the possibility for electronic interaction between various regional stakeholders in the health and care services to support clinical pathways across organisational borders and interfaces. In addition to this, the active involvement of citizens in their own health (i.e. patient empowerment), and the collection of health data for organisational, development and research objectives are underlying areas of focus.
The Customer will establish one common and centralised technical infrastructure (operating platform) for the EHR solution. As part of the common centralised operating platform, the Customer is planning to implement an Integration platform supporting the whole ecosystem surrounding Helseplattformen. This Integration platform will act as an Enterprise Integration platform for facilitating integrations, governance and API management capabilities in regard to Helseplattformen. This RFI is published in relation to the forthcoming procurement of such an Integration platform.
The procurement of an Integration platform will be conducted in compliance with laws and regulations on public procurement, based on the EU Procurement Directives. The Customer strives to facilitate a good tendering procedure, and therefore this RFI is sent out in advance of the actual procurement.
— Information about potential Integration platforms in the market in order to determine the target and the optimum scope for the procurement,
— Commercial information to arrange for the best organised procurement process when it comes to rights, obligations and allocation of risk,
— Information to establish a procurement budget and analyse probable lifecycle costs associated with the delivery.
Please note that this RFI process should not be seen as part of the forthcoming procurement process and that no final decisions and choices in relation to the procurement and the procurement process have been made at this point. Potential Suppliers should therefore be advised that the information regarding the procurement process given in this document should be regarded as provisional and is in no way legally binding for the Customer.
