Description

University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust ("UHB") is a large speciality teaching hospital that runs the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham (QEHB), Birmingham Chest Clinic, Heartlands Hospital, Good Hope Hospital, Solihull Hospital and various community services across the region.

The Trust is conducting pre-market engagement in relation to this requirement for a referral management solution to replace the current ways of working for the management of referrals into the Trust.

Following the previous PIN published for this published in February 2022 (https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/003804-2022?origin=SearchResults&p=2) The Trust is looking to refresh the market engagement to ensure it is up to date with developments in the market before progressing the project and procurement further.


Suppliers who are able to offer solutions relevant to this requirement are invited to express an interest and respond to a market engagement questionnaire. Further details on how to do this are contained within the additional information section of this notice.

This exercise is intended to provide potential bidders with the opportunity to review the Authority's Briefing Document and to provide information regarding the services they can offer that could meet these outline requirements. This builds on the Authority's commitment to engage with the market, by sharing information and seeking input from the market to enable us to develop the final specification and determine the appropriate route to market in a fair and transparent manner.

Suppliers wishing to participate in this market engagement exercise and express an interest in this requirement should respond to the questionnaire via the online form on the Health Family Single eCommercial System Portal (Atamis) by 17:00 on Wednesday 16th August 2023.
