Description

The SCR Health, Care and Connectivity programme is focussed on scaling-up the technology trials that the West Midlands has successfully pioneered and proven in order to deliver radically more effective and efficient health and social care services and boost productivity.

This particular workstream specification is to support bowel cancer pathways in Coventry & Warwickshire as well as in Birmingham & Solihull to deploy a managed service of capsule endoscopy into patient homes so will require standalone connectivity as part of the service rather than relying on the patient's home broadband or connectivity.

WM5G retain the right to terminate the procurement process or to not award a contract. WM5G will not be liable for any costs in relation to responding to this procurement.

This tender is for provision of access to a system which will enable WM5G, and participants in our workstreams, to:
• Provide access to advanced wireless connectivity through a 5G router and SIM cards with data contracts that fit within the defined dimensions and data requirements:
o 135 x 90 x 35mm (router)
o 50mm x 90mm x 35mm (Alternative GPS tracker with API access)
o 600MB per 20 min patient call
o SIM cards that provide coverage for any WMCA home address
• have the ability to demonstrate advanced 5g features to audiences by the time the programme concludes in March 2025 (for example: network slicing, eMBB, nMTC, SA / NGC, uRLCC)

In addition, the bidder needs to include:
• Operational and Maintenance Services for replacing any faulty routers within a timely SLA
• Technical Support to assist users to access technology
• IOT capability
• Wi-fi
• Security services

Bidders will be required to demonstrate how they propose to ensure service quality
