Electronic Prescribing and Medicines Administration Services

2.2. The Framework Operator (DHCW) is seeking to establish a new multi-vendor Framework Agreement to enable NHS organisations to call off their requirements on a local basis via a “mini-competition” process. The Framework will consist of not less than two (2) suppliers (“Contractors”), subject to there being at least two (2) compliant submissions. The scope of the Framework Agreement is for the provision of Electronic Prescribing and Medicines Administration solutions, including the ongoing development, upgrade and maintenance of said solutions. Solutions available to NHS Wales users under this Framework Agreement must satisfy the following objectives:

i. Provide auditable prescribing decision-making support

ii. Record and monitor the issuance and administration of pharmaceuticals

iii. Interface with local and national systems, not least Patient Administration and Pharmacy Stock Control
