It represents an opportunity to engage with the Authority in its market engagement activities related to a procurement planned to commence formally in April 2025. The interoperability platform / services will support the care and treatment of patients and users of health and Adult Social Care services and support extraction of data to identified IT systems including shared care records. The platform / service will support: • The sharing of agreed data and documents for care and treatment (direct care) using information standards • The sharing of agreed real time / near real time sharing of data and documents for secondary use (including commissioner and CQC reporting) to other IT systems • Authentication and authorisation to access the data and documents • Security of the solution including cyber and information governance technical controls • Supporting services including service desk / support desk This procurement is on a published roadmap for the Digitalisation of Social Care, and The Department of Health and Social Care has requested the Digitalisation of Social Care programme managed by NHS England to undertake market engagement activities. The Department of Health and Social Care would like to engage with suppliers to understand the supplier market view of what will be required in any new contract including interoperability standards to enable information to be shared. This will include the emerging standards from NHS England Chief Technology Officer to enable information to be shared between Electronic Patient Records (EPRs), Digital Social Care Records and Shared Care Records in England, (and where necessary using national NHS England interoperability services). The Department of Health and Social Care is also interested in understanding different options and costs to meet the requirement. The Department of Health and Social Care does not yet have an agreed date to go out to procurement, as this work is subject to funding approval from HM Treasury. However, it is anticipated that the contract will be formally advertised in or around April 2025. Anticipated contract term will be subject to funding - but is not expected to be less than 5+2+2 years. ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** planned - **Delivery regions:** UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, UKK - **Description:** The Department of Health and Social Care is planning to go out to formal procurement in or around April 2025.
