Pipeline Framework: B5389 Cancer information system

A pipeline has been launched for B5389 Cancer information system.The contract start Date is 01 December 2019. Approach to market date is 01 December 2019.The Trust is investigating the options for provision of a cancer information system. The Trust has been using its current system since 1998 to provide statutory information, support of clinical audit for cancer care, and more recently developing functionality to support management of care in Radiotherapy. The system is currently used by many departments across the Trust and in neighbouring Trusts and healthcare organisations where direct patient care is provided on a tertiary basis.Prior to commencing a potential formal procurement process the Trust would like to better understand the current market and options that are available to us.This is a potential opportunity from the government, and the pipeline gives advance notice of an opportunity that might be offered by the public sector in the future – allowing potential suppliers to plan accordingly. When a public sector organisation publishes a pipeline notice, it does not necessarily mean that an opportunity will be offered in the future.For more information contact: South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, The James Cook University Hospital, Marton Road, Middlesbrough TS4 3BW.
