Description

A Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) System for South Central Ambulance Service and Isle of Wight Ambulance Service 999 Operations. The 999 Computer-Aided Dispatch system (999 CAD) is a software solution, which has links to a range of other healthcare systems, that manages the receipt of calls for urgent care from members of the public who dial 999, through triage to a suitable outcome, such as attendance by ambulance. South Central Ambulance Service Foundation Trust is looking to procure a Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) system for its 999 operations. The system will also be used by the Isle of Wight Ambulance Service, as a service recipient. The aim of the procurement is to: o Procure a comprehensive and intuitive system that allows users to easily input and access information and carry out their functions effectively e.g.:  record patient details  progress the triage pathways of a call  ensure that, where relevant, a resource can be dispatched to the location provided by the caller  and enable effective audits and investigations via a full audit trail and easy-to-access historical information. o Ensure continuing integration with other services and systems provided and used by the Authority e.g.  transfers of callers and records to and from NHS 111  clinical applications used by front line 999 crews for patient treatment.  Ordnance Survey (OS), Terrafix, Personal Demographic Service (PDS) etc. The Contracting Authority proposes to enter into Contract(s) for a maximum period of 12 Years with the successful Tenderer(s).
