Being within the public sector the Ambulance Service must be responsive and flexible, reacting to changes, for example, legislation, working practices and reporting. Any solution and provider must be able to react to, support and match the organisations ability to respond urgently. Because there is a need to rapidly respond to change, the Trust will require the chosen Provider to offer and provide proactive, innovative and best value solutions. The CAD is required to enable the Trust operational processes which include (but not limited to): 1. Manage 999 incidents; 2. Manage patient events through to resolution; 3. Manage resources associated with the patient event, for example, ambulance and clinical response; 4. Interface with existing technology, which includes (but not limited) to: telephony and Mobile Data Terminals (MDTs); 5.

The Ambulance Service has a requirement to respond to the needs of the public which ranges from life threatening 999 emergency calls through to non-urgent patient transport. Any CAD has to be capable of operating 24 hours a day 365 days year to allow the correct clinical response to be made. Responding to the needs of the public and providing an excellent service is at the core of the Trust operations. The Ambulance Service is a highly reactive environment with ever changing challenges.
