The development is to update and enhance and maintain business critical software which coordinates the PDS. We expect the development to include a combination of attendance of a developer on-site at PHE if any critical "bugs" are found in the software and non-urgent development units (days) to be scheduled at mutually convenient times. The anticipated "units" for the development is as follows: DORIS 20 days ### DOL 10 days Infrastructure Review days 2 ### Emergency Support days 2 It is anticipated that the balance between DOL and DORIS development days may vary from that given above. We hope that the work on DORIS and DOL software can be done remotely with new deployments being generally carried out at lunchtime to minimise impact on DORIS users. . Service Availability - The development only needs to be done during normal office hours unless an emergency requires out of hours work to be done. If this situation occurs the price will be based on the contracted company's rate card and will be agreed in writing/email at the time. The budget for the combined development contract for DORIS & DOL is up to £20,000 (Ex-VAT) per year fixed over the four years ### Additional information: PHE Personal Dosimetry Service PHE provides to employers a service that measures and records the radiation doses received by their workers. Doses are measured by means of personal dosemeters (also known as "radiation badges") which are sent to the employer, worn by the worker for 1-3 months, and returned for processing. A report is then issued to the employer. PHE PDS is the largest UK-based service, serving over 7,000 employers and over 70,000 individuals. ### DORIS DORIS (DOsimetry and Records Information System), which has been running since late 2008, is a database system for dosemeter issues, dose records and dose reporting. It is only used by PHE staff. ### DOL DOL (Dosimetry online), released in 2011, provides customers with remote access to the data held in the PHE DORIS database, although it is separate from DORIS. DOL has the following user communities: • the PHE, • the PHE's clients, • Radiation Protection Advisors. DOL is effectively an advert for the PHE's Dosimetry Service, so it is essential that it provides a reliable high availability service. The DOL service is dependent on the availability of DORIS and so support for one cannot be provided independently of the other. They use similar technologies and have several interfaces for exchanging data. It therefore makes sense to use the same team to support both the systems.
