Description

is a new organisation to improve the process of developing and testing new medicines. Its
objective is to make the way that new medicines are tested more efficient and more cost effective.
 As part of its offering to customers in the life sciences sector it will develop a trials management
platform that integrates the end-to-end process from trial design to data analysis and reporting.
 Once Protas has defined its specification for the trials management platform, it will undertake a
procurement process to identify an infrastructure provider to produce (and operate) the IT platform on
behalf of Protas. The IT platform will need to be configurable, modular, scaleable and re-useable.
 The purpose of this RfP exercise is to appoint a technical consultancy to assist Protas in developing and
refining Protas's specification for the design and technical architecture for the IT platform. The
deliverable will be a detailed technical requirements specification for the IT platform for use in the
subsequent procurement process for an infrastructure provider.
 The technical consultancy should have relevant expertise in the design and technical architecture of
comparable systems, the ability to incorporate existing systems and applications as well as undertaking
specific coding development, expertise in data ingress and egress, communications networks, cloud
strategy, security and data standards for health data and the ability to define the interoperability of the
different off-the-shelf components.
 Details of the process for selecting a technical consultancy to support Protas in this phase of work are
included in the procurement document.
Responses should be by e-mail to the contact listed in the RfP no later than the time specified
