We are seeking to understand the market’s capability to provide a flexible, scalable and secure digital solution that integrates appointment and activity booking, electronic patient records, payment and invoicing functionality and optional telehealth capabilities.

For the purposes of this exercise the requirement is presented in two areas. Area A covers clinical services delivered through the University’s public-facing health clinics, such as osteopathy, physiotherapy and cardiovascular screening. Area B covers wider commercial activity across the faculty, such as CPD courses, workshops, equipment hire and laboratory bookings. the value stated in this notice is not applicable, we are obliged to place a figure, however we are conducting this RFI to understand potential costs[E5]
