The procurement contact named on the official notice.
The submission route named on the official notice.
Midland Heart's IT Services cycle is past due — it ran about every 10 months across 3 notices, and the door is open now. It may re-tender at any time.
34% of Midland Heart’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.
Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →
The objective of this tender exercise is to source a partner to work with us to resolve our contention on test and development environments, which is holding up project pace.
We envisage a partner will deliver three things: An Enterprise Release Management (ERM) solution for Midland Heart (MH), providing the framework and processes that will enable Midland Heart to build, maintain and control environmental management, recommending and sourcing the tooling and leading the culture change and process change to deliver environments at pace.
Recommending and sourcing a replacement of our legacy on-premises “point-to-point” API architecture that constrains the availability of integrated environments used for SIT and UAT with a new cloud-based hub and spoke model to support the vision of CI/CD (Continuous Integration and Continuous Development) practices.
This will enable the automation, orchestration and controlled release of multiple integrated environments according to business need, using techniques such as API stubbing and mocking.
The successful partner will work with our Northgate Housing supplier (NEC) to additionally migrate from On Premises to a virtualized hosted (OCI) solution in order to fully meet our environment flexibility requirements., as well as with suppliers (commercial and internal) of products that Northgate integrates to.
Midland Heart intends to award a contract for a partner to conduct an analysis of our current APIs, and following successful delivery of this initial engagement, to source ERM tools, implement a POC and deliver a production environment with APIs (and non-API integrations where feasible) onboarded.
Suppliers who wish to recommend alternative solutions to delivering our environment flexibility requirement are encouraged to suggest them in the dialogue process.
