What is being bought

Published requirement description

E-Health Productivity & Innovation in Cornwall (EPIC2) (www.plymouth.ac.uk/research/epic ↗) is a project part funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) that builds on the user led approach developed in the previous EPIC project to take digital health in Cornwall & the Isles of Scilly (C&IoS) from a nascent market to one which is more developed, productive, accepted and embedded within the health and care sector, in order to drive economic growth and productivity. EPIC2 works across both the demand side and the supply side to maximise the impacts and opportunities for change.

EPIC2 is being led by the University of Plymouth (UoP), which is the accountable body for ERDF. It is delivered in partnership with a range of delivery and strategic partners to ensure healthcare professionals, commissioners, policy makers and innovators can drive and adopt change.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
