There are currently over 40 active interventional trials with a total funding value is excess of £50m, these include international trials and studies and a growing portfolio of trials with adaptive designs. Most of the portfolio are regulated by the Medicines for Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). NCTU works in a demanding and constantly evolving ethical, legal, regulatory and scientific landscape, across multiple countries. We seek opportunities for faster, more efficient, cost effective, and better research. NCTU requires systems that ensure robust trial and study design are conducted in line with MHRA and other legislated regulatory requirements that stand up to international scrutiny. Systems must be suitable for use in academic trials unit and ensure they operate in a way which is complaint with applicable legislation and should combine excellent functionality with customisability that will also require the set-up time of trials and studies to be minimised without impacting on staff time needed to develop, test, and deploy trials and studies within the system. Staff move between locations to work, including from NHS Trusts and from home, and thus secure access from any location is needed to both build and manage the systems. The scope is for the supply, implementation and support for a randomisation system to be used for clinical trials by all members of NCTU, and by trial teams across multiple clinical sites, nationally and globally. The requirements are for established cloud-based, off the shelf solutions which are in use within clinical trial environments. The system must be accessed via a web-based interface. The system must have different user profiles to support the setting up, management and data extraction for statistical analysis. These should include the user types detailed in Sections 2.5.1.6.
