Software: Electronic Patient Record

The Trust would like to proceed with the renewal of contract for our Electronic Patient Record (EPR) solution to ensure continuity of service and to align contractual terms and timelines with the broader group-wide digital health strategy.

The EPR system is a mission-critical component of our clinical and operational infrastructure, underpinning patient care, data integrity, and regulatory compliance. Given the complexity,

scale, and risk associated with replacing such a deeply integrated solution; a renewal represents the most prudent and strategic course of action at this time.

The justification for this award is that change of solution shall result in a difference or incompatibility that would result in disproportionate technical difficulties in operation or maintenance.

This award shall ensure that the future alignment supports our commitment to integrated care delivery, operational efficiency, and a unified approach to digital transformation across the Bristol Hospital Group.
