What is being bought

Published requirement description

The purpose of this Notice is to inform the market of a contract awarded to Healthcare Gateway to continue to deliver the Medical Interoperability Gateway (MIG) across Hertfordshire and West Essex. This follows the publication of a Voluntary Ex-Ante Transparency (VEAT) Notice published in FTS on 7th November 2023 (reference: 2023/S 000-032983) and observing a voluntary 10-day standstill period following publication.

The new contract will start on 1st January 2024 and will end on 31st December 2024. The value of the new contract is £298,331.57 (inclusive of VAT).

The total cumulative spend since the contract started is £800,339.62 (inclusive of VAT and excluding the value of this new proposed contract).

The Shared Care Record (ShCR) is used across the Integrated Care System (ICS) to facilitate the sharing of clinical information for the purposes of direct care. Primary Care data from our GP Practices was one of the first datasets that the ICB enabled into the ShCR. This is done via the Healthcare Gateway Medical Interoperability Gateway (MIG) which presents the key GP data into the ShCR for others to see. It is a critical data stream which is evidenced by the high usage data across all datasets being provided by the MIG with an average of over 800,000 transactions per month.

We have undertaken some research into other solutions and have concluded that the MIG is the only available tool which facilitates the sharing of GP data in the way in which it is required. There is no other product currently that offers the functionality and service provision of the MIG. Findings have identified that switching to an alternative provision could result in significant degradation of service and less access to data than we currently surface within the ShCR.

Why no open competition

The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator due to absence of competition for technical reasons

Published justification

The Shared Care Record (ShCR) is used across the Integrated Care System (ICS) to facilitate the sharing of

clinical information for the purposes of direct care. Primary Care data from our GP Practices was one of

the first datasets that the ICB enabled into the ShCR. This is done via the Healthcare Gateway Medical

Interoperability Gateway (MIG) which presents the key GP data into the ShCR for others to see. It is a

critical data stream which is evidenced by the high usage data across all datasets being provided by the

MIG with an average of over 800,000 transactions per month.

The ICB has undertaken some research into other solutions and have concluded that the MIG continues to

be the only available tool which facilitates the sharing of GP data in the way in which it is required. There

is no other product currently that offers the functionality and service provision of the MIG. Findings have

identified that switching to an alternative provision could result in significant degradation of service and

less access to data than the ICB currently surface within the ShCR. On this basis, we consider Healthcare

Gateway to be the only technically capable supplier.

    • Change The modification is limited to an extension of the current contracts held by both Herts Valleys CCG and West Essex CCG for a 3-month period., Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: Modification was necessary to ensure data continued to flow into the Shared Care Record whilst the ICB planned for a procurement process to source a longer-term solution.
