iPACS VEAT Notice for HSE - Contract for Provision of Managed Services for a Radiology Information System/Picture Archive and Communication System to UHG, Merlin Park, Roscommon

Provide a managed integrated Picture Archiving and Communication System (iPACS) for the handling, display, storage, retrieval, archiving and communication of radiological images in Saolta University Health Care Group (UHG, Merlin Park, Roscommon). A contract was put in place in 2004 - The main reason for this proposed extension, is, with the formation of the HSE, the strategy of a regional approach to Radiology Systems changed to a national approach. In this regard, the national platform is being developed and is being implemented across the HSE. However, it will take another 5 years before it is implemented in Galway-Roscommon. To ensure continuity of safe radiology imaging services for patients and with regard to, technical considerations, financial implications and the roll-out of the national platform, it is not practical to run a tender process for this requirement. A VEAT Notice will be published in OJEU, outlining HSE’s intention to the market i.e. award a contract without prior publication as per Article 32 3b. No contract will be signed until 14 days after the notice has been published. As the National Program (NIMIS) will not be available to GUH for a number of years, there is a requirement to extend the service provision as delivered under the Managed Service with an expected end date of December 2024. The Office of Chief Information Officer (OoCIO) has confirmed the basis for proceeding with the proposal to extend the Galway University Hospitals Picture Archiving and Communications System includes:- • The system is essential to the delivery of radiology services to patients in Galway University Hospitals and Roscommon University Hospital. The hardware the system operates on has reached the end of its operating life and much of it is out of support and some of the system is at risk from known and emerging cybersecurity threats. • The national direction is to move to a single radiology system for all public medical imaging, known as NIMIS 3.
