Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 15 February 2024
353. Deputy Neasa Hourigan asked the Minister for Health when he expects the tender for the second phase of the HSE's Hospital performance visualisation platform to be issued; when he expects it to be completed; the estimated cost of phase two; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7263/24]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe tender for Phase 2 of HSEs Hospital performance visualisation platform was issued by HSE in December 2023 with vendor responses due this month (14 Feb 2024). A procurement evaluation group (PEG) has been established by HSE and their role is to assess tender responses from potential suppliers through to the end of March. Depending on this assessment of potential supplier responses, this should result in a preferred supplier being identified. Vendors will then be notified, to be followed by a standstill period as required under EU procurement rules, final details being closed out, with a view to having a contract awarded in summer of this year, assuming no challenge from unsuccessful bidders and completion of the approvals process. Cost and timeline certainty will be known once the procurement process is complete and understandably, I cannot comment nor can the HSE publish estimates whilst this procurement is still live.
