SLaM - Electronic Observation Solution - ST21-P234

The aim of this requirement is to appoint a single supplier framework for the provision of an Electronic Observation Platform.

The consortia procurement initiative, the first of its kind to explore procuring open standards and platform technology. By working in partnership, as a healthcare consortium within and on behalf of collaborating trusts and or healthcare providers, we aim to seek out and collaborate with suppliers who are prepared to partner with us, and who share our values and ethos. This requires a collaborative procurement hub, aimed to provide optimum use of our combined capability and resources, reducing duplication and wasteful competition, where appropriate improved commercial outcomes, leading to potential reductions in cost for consortium members, wider NHS and public sector.

The approach and its perceived outcomes are to deliver best in class procurement solutions for the consortia and wider healthcare economy by executing a short-term procurement route via existing frameworks,

The Objectives of the consortia are to:

• Share benefit: developments are done for the benefit of all, not one.

• Share data: make data open so that existing products can still be used even when the new vendor has changed.

• Share financial rewards:

• when our NHS expertise is used to develop a product, rewards being shared back to the consortium.

• arrangement to be self-funding.

• Becoming Vendor neutral

• Collaborative working and sharing innovation and development
