Official UK procurement notice
Cegedim GP System of Choice (GPSoC)
Authority: Business Services Organisation I T S
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionCurrently there are 122 NI GP practices using the Cegedim Clinical System for patient management. To enable the Cegedim Clinical System to meet the needs of the practices it must interoperate with other specific hardware and software such as patient checkin and patient call systems. Given the dependency on IT in General Practice, stopping these services would very significantly impact on the ability of the 122 Vision GP practices to provide GMS services. Practices would be unable to access patient histories or record consultations against an electronic patient record. They would also be unable to interface electronically with other HSC systems - E.g. lab results, radiology reports, registration links, Emergency Care Summary, Key Information Summary, Electronic Document Transfer, GPIP etc. - so reintroducing delay and inaccuracy in patient care.

BSO ITS are in the process of creating a Framework through GP IT Futures. This was due to happen in 2021 unfortunately, the on boarding of systems and services onto the GP IT Futures Catalogue in England was delayed, in part due to covid pressures. This delay has had a knock on effect on the necessary assessment of all options within the NI procurement strategy. The NI procurement strategy is now being finalised and procurement planning now shows that the new NI contracts should be in place by March 2023 or shortly thereafter.
The justification for this DAC, therefore, is to ensure the existing services continue uninterrupted until those services can be procured through contracts established by the on-going procurement process.
