II.2) Description
II.2) Description Lot No. 1
      
      II.2.1) Title: Business Intelligence Tools (BI)       
      Lot No: 1       
      II.2.2) Additional CPV codes:
      72212482 - Business intelligence software development services.
      
      II.2.3) Place of performance:
      UKJ32 Southampton
      
      II.2.4) Description of procurement: The BI tools will be available to all members of staff across the organisation, although it is expected that only a proportion of these will actively use the system. User volumes will start off low and increase over the life of the project, with up to 1000 daily users anticipated.
The specification for this Lot is listed within the ‘Lot 1 BI Tools Detailed Requirements’ section (linked to here on page 3), however in summary they will allow users to analyse and drill down in to data from across all of the data we have from source systems with appropriate security in place to restrict access where necessary.

There will be a range of visualisations supporting analysis, trends, mapping and predictive analytics in a high performing environment. The tools will be intuitive, easy to use and available from a PC, laptop and mobile device. Users will be able to set up personalised analyses and alerts and share useful information with others. They will also be able to subscribe to reports to be delivered to at least their email at a time and day of their choosing.

The development of core dashboards and other visualisations will be carried out by the UHS in-house BI development team, but it is expected that other teams within the organisation will also have the ability to create content. The tools will need to enable UHS to have a quality assurance process for dashboards and visualisations prior to their release to others. The BI tools will need to allow us to use ‘templates’ to apply the UHS style to enable quick development and consistent look and feel.

The BI tools will most likely be hosted in an industry grade cloud solution provided under Lot 2 of this procurement, although SaaS (Software as a Service) or on premises implementation will be considered.
      II.2.5) Award criteria:
            Price is not the only award criterion and all criteria are stated only in the procurement documents            
      II.2.6) Estimated value:
      Value excluding VAT: Not provided       
      Currency: Not provided       
      II.2.7) Duration of the contract, framework agreement or dynamic purchasing system:
      Duration in months: 60       
      This contract is subject to renewal: Yes       
      Description of renewals: The Contract may be extended by a further 2 x 12 Months
      II.2.9) Information about the limits on the number of candidates to be invited:
             Envisaged minimum number: 2
             
      Objective criteria for choosing the limited number of candidates: Step 1

b)Bidders will then be invited to tender (ITT) for the Lot/s for which they have successfully passed the evaluation questions of the SQ.

Step 2
a)Tenders are evaluated against the ‘Technical Requirements’ document.
b)The top three scoring bids for each of the Lots will then be invited to take the technical assessment test (as detailed in ‘Bidder Task - Lots 1 & 3 - Evaluation Scoring’).

Step 3
a)Bidders take the relevant technical assessment test/s and are evaluated against the provided references/visit to the bidder’s client and the bidder’s submitted Pricing (see ‘Commercial Schedule – Evaluation Scoring’).
b)Bidders are allocated a total score against all four of the evaluation criteria, as detailed below in Table 1: Evaluation Breakdown.

The contract(s) will be awarded to the successful bidder(s)

Full details of the evaluation criteria can be found in the following documents. Before submitting your response, it is the bidder’s responsibility to make sure they have studied and made reference to all of the following:

Documents for reference:

1) ‘Selection Questionnaire’ (complete as appropriate to bid)

For which the following will be used to score applications
2) ‘SQ - Evaluation and Scoring’

3) ‘Specification and Tender Response Document’. This document also contains sections that detail the following:
- How responses to our technical criteria are scored.
i) Lots 1-3 - Evaluation and Scoring

As referred to in the project timescale and description above it is required that any invited bids for Lots 1, 2 and 3 will be evaluated against a range of technical criteria, of which there is the requirement for the provision of both an implementation plan and deliverables.
Specifically, within the ‘Tender Overview Technical Specification and Tender Evaluation’ document there is the technical requirement that for Lot 1 ‘BI Tools’ and Lot 2 ‘Data warehouse and Hosting’, points 1.88 and 2.88 respectively that;

“Suppliers MUST set out in no more than 500 words, excluding the additional requirement of a chart, or charts e.g. Gantt style or otherwise, the steps and timescales involved in the initial product configuration and setup. Please list all steps that are required prior to the products initial use. It should be indicated where appropriate which items are the supplier's or the Trust's responsibility.”

Further and or also that for Lot 3 ‘Data Warehouse Design and Build’ invited bids should again, whilst meeting the other listed technical criteria, also furnish a response for which they will be evaluated to the criteria detailed within points 3.10 and 3.11 respectively that;

“The Trust has an ambition to provide the first working solution within 3 months of signing a contract. Suppliers MUST state if this is achievable and describe how they will deliver a first working solution of a data warehouse as described in Lot 2 and Lot 3 in this time frame.”

And that:

“Suppliers SHOULD outline their anticipated build programme in a Gantt-chart/s and/or similar and or no more than 500 words.”

The BI Platform is a significant enabler for the strategy and we are seeking supplier(s) who embrace our values (patients first, working together and always improving) and would like to make a difference to our communities through the use of data. Our preferred approach would be to work in partnership on this project and believe there may be the opportunity for the partnership to provide BI Platforms to others in the future.

If the relevant documentary evidence referred to in the Selection Questionnaire is not provided upon request and without delay we reserve the right to amend the contract award decision and award to the next compliant bidder.

      II.2.3) Place of performance:
      UKJ32 Southampton
      
      II.2.4) Description of procurement: The Trust is looking for a supplier to provide skilled, experienced and knowledgeable resources that can design and build a new data warehouse to industry standards. The Trust has a detailed understanding of the data and how it relates across the source systems, as well as very significant expertise in database technologies. Thus the supplier will be expected to collaborate with Trust staff, to make best use of the skills and knowledge from both parties.

Data sets will be brought online at different stages during the build period, and over the life of the system, it is anticipated that some of the source systems might change. There will therefore be a degree of ‘data stitching’ work to include as part of the warehouse development. Suppliers should evidence experience of both types of work.

The Trust already has an established integration engine – InterSystems Health Connect, into which many of the Trusts systems (see Table 1) feed (see Figure 1 Current System Feeds to UHS Integration Engine'). This incorporates the Spine Mini-Services Provider and we intend to manage the extraction and the majority of the translation prior to load into the data warehouse provided under Lot 2.

The design must support the ability to identify, resolve and report on any data quality issues found within the source data, whilst minimising the impact poor data quality has on submissions, reports or performance dashboards.

We anticipate a need for ongoing maintenance and further development after the initial build contract has come to an end. The bidder will involve with UHS Informatics staff during the design and build process to ensure sufficient knowledge-and-skills transfer for them to take on ongoing maintenance and development tasks. To support this, the supplier will be required to document and implement appropriate change control processes. The specification for this Lot is listed within the ‘Lot 3 Detailed Requirements’ section (linked to here on page 28).
