Official UK procurement notice
Replacement of the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory Reporting System
Authority: Bristol NHS Foundation Trust (Central government)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe Cath Lab reporting system currently in place at NBT is currently not fit for purpose as it doesn't provide a central digital register of cardiac device implantations and follow-up requirements; it has limited and manual reporting and data capabilities; it is only available on certain computers, with no web-browser version, limiting workflows in the Control Room; and finally, it offers no oversight of patients, even though many cardiology patient pathways span both hospitals.

- Why no open competition
- Single Suppliers Technical Reasons
- Published justification
We would like to implement Centricity™ Cardio Workflow (CCW), a GE HealthCare (GE) provided product which is currently in use at the BHI, Weston General, and the Bristol Royal Hospital for Children which will be going to be a merger with North Bristol NHS Trust. Most importantly, CCW will be set up within the existing UHBW system architecture, enabling oversight of cardiology patient information across the BHI and Southmead. Due to the above technical reason single tender action has been done.
Besides, for Philips data retrieval as this can only be done by Philips who is the incumbent supplier, so no competition existed in the market.
