Connecting for Health has named the suppliers for three of the four categories – or lots – of the Additional Supply Capability and Capacity (ASCC) framework initiative.
The ASCC initiative is divided into four categories: ICT services to support non-clinical systems; clinical IT services; hardware, infrastructure and associated services; and testing environments and related services.
Decisions on the key clinical IT services category – known as lot 2 – have been delayed until April. The deadline for responses on lot 2 falls on 24 January.
What remains unclear at this stage is how CfH plans to make use of the ASCC framework. Being named as a supplier does not of itself guarantee any business, as suppliers have to subsequently re-tender for any individual procurements that may follow.
Continued uncertainty over ASCC has led to speculation that the initiative may be either intended to buy time or provide back-up for NPfIT if delays in key areas continue and it needs to bring in additional suppliers.
Lot 1: Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Services – these will support the delivery of existing non- clinical systems or provide new non- clinical systems and services as business requirements emerge. Lot 2: Clinical Information Technology (CIT) Services – these will support the delivery of existing clinical IT systems and/or provide new clinical IT systems and services as business requirements emerge. Lot 3: Hardware, Infrastructure and Associated (HIA) Services – the provision of a broad range of HIA technology goods and services and, additionally, specialist consultancy services aligned to other ASCC services. Lot 4: Testing Environments and Related Services (TERS) – the provision of testing environments and associated facilities. |
