Extension of Contract for the provision of a Patient Administration System and Electronic Patient System

The Secretary of State established an additional supply capability and capacity framework as advertised through OJEU contract notice reference 2007/S 61-075154 under the Public Contracts Regulations 2006 ("ASCC Framework"). The Trust conducted a further competition procedure under the ASCC Framework to award a call-off contract for the provision of a patient administration system and electronic patient record system to System C Healthcare Limited, with a maximum term of 13 years in utilising all of the extensions within the original call-off contract. The call-off contract therefore expires on 1 May 2025. The services cover the Trust's needs in both acute and community provision settings.

The Trust intends to vary the call-off contract with System C Healthcare Limited by extending it for up to a further 5 years, with an initial extension for 3 years and an option to extend for up to a further 2 years in 1 year increments.

The estimated value of the services to be supplied over the 5 year period is approximately £13.9m excluding VAT.
