Central elements of the infrastructure to be procured are an ARK (i.e. an analytic platform providing a trusted research environment) and a Health Information Exchange (a middleware structure that will integrate and transmit data to and from all data nodes in the system). This proposed combination of an ARK and an HIE gives the project its name "ARCHIE". The ARCHIE project aims to provide proof of concept of key elements and information transfer nodes in this system, thereby facilitating the future vision of a region-wide Health and Care Information Services for the North East and North Cumbria. This future vision is widely known as the Great North Care Record (GNCR). ## CPV classification Information technology services Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/624389ef-9efb-4af0-b4fd-c71e15cdb380) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
