Electronic Patient Record System (EPR)

Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (the 'Trust') is seeking, without prejudice, market engagement in advance of advertising a procurement to provide an Electronic Patient Record (EPR) system and associated services. The procurement forms part of a wider transformation programme across the Trust.

The Trust intends to run this procurement using the Competitive Dialogue procedure. It is expected that the outcomes of this PIN and subsequent associated activity will help to inform the nature and content of that process.

The Trust plans to publish the Contract Notice and SQ in the OJEU in May 2018, leading to contract award in early summer 2019. The Trust's planned market engagement is designed to test the market in terms of the achievability of the scope, scale and timeframe of our requirements and to encourage input from potential suppliers to the design of the service provision.

The Trust considers that this procurement represents a unique opportunity for the 'right' Potential Provider to develop a true, clinically driven, joint-working based partnership with innovative and forward-looking Trust over the next 10 years or more. The Trust believes that this procurement offers an excellent opportunity to deliver a 'best in class' clinically driven benefits realisation package via the use of leading edge technology.
