Opportunity overview

The Authority is seeking to procure a new Clinical Trial Data Management Solution.

Further to pre-market engagement undertaken earlier this year, the Authority will now commence a three-stage competitive flexible procurement process. This process will consist of: 1. An initial supplier eligibility assessment; 2. A written stage, covering technical, commercial, and social value questions; and 3. A sandboxing exercise to assess shortlisted solutions in practice. Interested suppliers are invited to engage with this procurement via Atamis https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome Contract Reference: C388016.
