AI Analysis
Powered by AI — always verify against official documents
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde needs to replace two critical computer systems used for cancer treatment planning and patient records at their cancer centres. They're splitting this into two separate purchases (lots) and want suppliers to bid for either one system, both systems separately, or multiple versions of the same system.
Requirements
- Suppliers must submit separate tenders for Lot 1 and Lot 2 — you cannot combine them into one tender
- Products must be suitable for use in Scottish NHS radiotherapy centres (Gartnavel General Hospital and Lanarkshire Beatson)
- System must replace existing Oncology Management System (OMS) and Treatment Planning System (TPS)
- System must include Record and Verify (R&V) functionality for Lot 1
- Compliance with NHS information governance and data security standards (implied but check full tender documents)
- Check full tender documents for clinical safety, regulatory, and technical specifications — likely to include FDA/CE marking requirements for medical devices
Key Tasks & Deliverables
- Provide and install Oncology Management System (OMS) including Record and Verify (R&V) system for patient records and treatment verification (Lot 1)
- Provide and install Treatment Planning System (TPS) for radiotherapy treatment planning (Lot 2)
- Integrate new systems with existing NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde IT infrastructure
- Provide training to clinical and administrative staff on both systems
- Provide ongoing technical support and maintenance post-installation
- Migrate data from old systems to new systems
- Ensure systems are operational at both Gartnavel General Hospital and Lanarkshire Beatson sites
How to Read This Tender
- 1This is a 'lot-based' tender — it's split into two separate purchases. Read this carefully: you CANNOT bid for both lots in a single tender. You must submit two completely separate applications if you want to bid for both.
- 2CERP (Capital Equipment Replacement Programme) is Scottish Government funding for NHS equipment — check the tender documents for any specific funding conditions or Scottish procurement rules that might apply.
- 3Medical software is highly regulated. This will require detailed compliance documentation (likely ISO 13485, CE/FDA certification, NHS Data Security and Protection Toolkit compliance). Start by checking what certifications your product already has.
- 4The phrase 'Contractors may submit more than 1 tender for any given lot' is unusual — it may mean they want competing versions of the same system, or it could allow you to bid multiple times. Clarify this in writing before bidding.
- 5Cancer centre systems are mission-critical — expect strict requirements around system uptime, disaster recovery, backup, and 24/7 support. Budget for this in your pricing and delivery plan.
Tips for Small Businesses
- If you're a smaller supplier, consider partnering with a larger systems integrator or NHS IT supplier — they'll have existing NHS relationships and compliance experience. You could be the product specialist while they handle integration and support.
- Focus your bid on one lot first. These are complex systems — trying to bid for both at once may dilute your offer. Win one, prove yourself, then bid for the other.
- Social value scoring is often important in NHS tenders. Highlight any commitments to Scottish jobs, apprenticeships, or local training — this can be a differentiator if your product is comparable to larger competitors.
