The Trust has developed a business case for investment in a new EPR to replace the two legacy systems from the former S&O and StHK Trusts. Implementation of a single EPR is recognised as key to the successful operation of the organisation and to achievement of the benefits of forming a new, single organisation. The Trust currently uses two instances of the CareFlow EPR provided by SystemC, though the deployment at the former StHK sites is more mature. Neither of the existing contracts are capable of being extended to incorporate the other and therefore in line with Public Contract Regulations and national strategy a procurement must be undertaken for a new single EPR for the Trust with the intention that this ‘levels up’ the digital provision for former S&O sites to the standard provided at former StHK sites. The Trusts require consultancy support for: 1. The development of an Output Based Specification (OBS) and Invitation to Tender (ITT) pack. 2. The delivery of the procurement including preparation and delivery of evaluation, approval of the procurement outcome and contract preparation.
