Technical requirements: Contract for the Supply, Configuration, Installation and Maintenance of a Quality and Safety Management Software System.
RCSI Hospitals intend to appoint a suitably qualified and experienced economic operator to provide a Quality Management Information System (QMIS).

It is intended that the QMIS procured on foot of this competition will enable the Contracting Authority to ensure that its Quality and Safety Management System is operating efficiently and effectively.

It is intended that the QMIS procured on foot of this competition will enable the Contracting Authority to ensure that its Quality and Safety Management System is operating efficiently and effectively.
The successful tenderer will be awarded a contract for the provision of the required software system and its ongoing support and maintenance for a 5-year period. Thereafter, the Contracting Authority shall have the right to award subsequent contracts to the successful tenderer, for the continued support and maintenance of the system, until the system's obsolescence.
The Contracting Authority may elect to ‘pilot’ the required system at a particular hospital site, with a schedule of additional roll-outs implemented in accordance with funding availability and local requirements. The Contracting Authority envisions that the negotiation stage of the competition will be utilised to discuss such a phased approach with tenderers.
The Contracting Authority undertakes that this reviewable public contract will not be concluded until a period of fourteen calendar days has elapsed following the notification of all concerned tenderers. This ‘standstill period,’ which will commence on the day after all concerned tenderers are electronically notified of the outcome of their tender submissions, is being observed in accordance with the provisions of SI 130 of 2010.
