The brief

NHS Somerset are seeking expressions of interest from organisations to provide an asynchronous and synchronous IT solution for the provision of Advice and Guidance between practitioners and clinicians for use by all within their respective Integrated Care System.

A robust and effective Advice and Guidance digital platform solution is central to the vision outlined in the NHS Long Term Plan of 'one click away' specialist advice and guidance for primary care.

The Commissioner requires the provision to support senior clinician advice and guidance for acute care pre-admission/pre referral communications between Primary care (including community and paramedic staff) and Secondary care for use across both Urgent and Planned Care pathways, and to enable uploading and sending documents and images from mobile devices/laptops to support patient outcome and ease of access to the health care providers.

The contract will be let for an initial period of 2 years, with optional extension of up to a further 2 years, to a maximum total length of 4 years.

The value for the initial 1st year term is £252,000 and the maximum whole life (2 year) value is £504,000.

All values provided are inclusive of any non-recoverable VAT.

This procurement is being carried out by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioners.
