Work completed for the first Bristol North Somerset South Gloucestershire (BNSSG) Electronic Palliative Care Co-ordination System (EPaCCs) provided the opportunity for many clinicians to view a patient's end of life requirements on a shared care plan. However, with limited access, numerous data fields to complete and sub-optimal updating processes, an improved solution has been prioritised within Healthier Together's LTP and is now funded as a priority. The requirement for a more user-friendly shared care plan has been exacerbated by Covid-19, where the limitation of the current solution has led to many not having their end of life wishes met. Furthermore, with BNSSG Community Provider, Sirona care & health, and St Peters Hospice now sharing responsibility for the final months of a patient's care within BNSSG (from April 2021), there is the need to share and update a number of patients' care plans across organisations and over a wide geographic area. BNSSG are now looking to procure a supplier that can help us to: • Build on the work completed through EPaCCs (and the ReSPECT form) by meeting the system-wide must-have requirements in the specification. • Represent an incremental improvement in shared care planning to mitigates immediate issues, exacerbated by Covid. • Demonstrate the potential to expand shared care plans across a range of services. • Enable expansion through the ability to add additional shared care plans to the solution following the End of Life plan. • Publish the End of Life plan using the BNSSG Connecting Care shared record. This is available over N3/HSCN and displays NHS data from a number of BNSSG providers. ([connectingcarebnssg.co.uk](https://www.connectingcarebnssg.co.uk/what-is-connecting-care/how-does-it-work/)) The contract will be let for an initial period of 1 year, with extension options of up to a further 2 years, to a maximum total length of 3 years. The value for the initial 1 year term is £110,000, and the maximum whole life (3 year) value will be £270,000. Expressions of interest must be received via the In-Tend e-procurement system by no later than midday on 26 April 2021.
