TPP UK - EPR services · UK public procurement notice

This is a VEAT notice, not an opportunity to Tender, where the Trust intends to extend its existing supplier contract via a Contract Change Notice to cover an additional 3 year period while the Trust procures and implements an EPR solution. Additional information: The Trust is proposing to extend its existing contract with incumbent supplier TPP for the SystmOne platform, which includes modules for Community, MIU and CoHo.

By undertaking this contract extension, the Trust will provide the business continuity needed for the continued use of digital clinical systems to support the delivery of high quality and safe patient care. Failure to continue with the provision of these products will have a significant adverse impact on the delivery of safe patient care. The Trust is proposing to extend the current supplier contract for a period 3 years, this being the minimum period necessary for it to carry out a full and complete procurement exercise for an EPR solution, including the necessary period of contract mobilisation following the appointment of a successful bidder.

The Trust will be undertaking an EPR procurement and is working with NHSE to meet the necessary criteria for funding from the Frontline Digitisation Programme.

The Trust has considered the procurement and given the complexity of an EPR procurement, it is considered that this timeframe is the shortest realistic time period which will allow for the procurement process and necessary approvals from the Trust and NHSE, and allow for a smooth transition and EPR deployment.

The Trust is currently actively engaged and working with LPP and NHS England to agree procurement documentation and route to market for an EPR.
