02/ The brief
What the notice says
Not fully read: this is the notice text; attached documents are not read.
Bolton NHS Foundation Trust (“the Trust”) intends to undertake preliminary market engagement (PME) in advance of a forthcoming procurement exercise for the provision of a new PAS solution to replace its existing PAS. The existing PAS is based on iSOFT’s i.PM product and the latest release in use by the Trust is referred to as ‘Lorenzo i.EPR 2.2.1001’. We will refer to this existing PAS as the ‘Legacy PAS’. The Legacy PAS was first implemented at the Trust in late 2008.
The Legacy PAS is maintained and supported by Dedalus under a contract which can be extended until 31 August 2028. Dedalus also hosts the Legacy PAS using the AWS public cloud service.
The Trust intends to use PME to assess potential PAS suppliers and their products and to inform a strategic decision by the Trust about whether to procure a new standalone PAS solution to replace the Legacy PAS or to procure an integrated EPR and PAS solution.
Information about the PME process and expected activities can be found below, under the heading “Pre-Market Engagement”, and in a separate RFI document published at the same time as this notice.
If the Trust decides to proceed with the procurement of a new PAS solution to replace the Legacy PAS, the current expected scope of service includes the following:
• the right to use the new PAS solution (a licence)
• an implementation project, including programme management, design, configuration and build, testing, early life support, training (most likely in the form of train the trainer), data migration, integration with pre-existing systems, reporting
• maintenance and support of the new PAS solution
The Trust is keeping an open mind about whether the new PAS solution would be hosted by the Trust ‘on premise’ or hosted by the new supplier (suppliers’ hosting services may be based on public cloud services from Azure, AWS or Google Cloud Platform, or provided through a data centre).
The services will need to be provided on-site and/or remotely, depending on the nature of the services.
