Legal Justification
No other reasonable alternative exists for this procurement, An Oracle database is required for the Paris community information system that is essential to patient care and service delivery. Oracle have exclusive rights over this database, licences and updates. The functionality of the Paris system is within the core scope of the Encompass procurement. Health and Social Care Northern Ireland (HSCNI) is currently planning for the implementation of encompass, an Electronic Health and Care Record (EHCR) that will underpin the service transformation and healthcare needs of the population of Northern Ireland. Encompass will replace multiple aging HSC Trust systems and numerous paper records and manual workflows and the EHCR will deliver significant core functionality across the acute, community and primary care Out of Hours sectors. The contract for the provision of the EHCR solution was awarded to Epic in May 2020. This contract is required to cover the transitional period and a replacement in the short-term is not a reasonable alternative as it would require extensive ICT infrastructure, validation and integration work that would result in significant disruption and lead to disproportionate technical difficulties that would impact on the Trusts ability to provide a community information service. The wider market was consulted when Encompass was procured. The absence of competition is not a result of the artificial narrowing of the parameters of the procurement.
