UHB Leased PC Replacement Managed Service - Market Engagement

University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust are seeking to engage with suppliers interested in its upcoming requirement for a Leased PC Replacement Managed Service. University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust (UHB), which manages and operates Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham, Birmingham Heartlands Hospital, Solihull Hospital, Good Hope Hospital and Birmingham Chest Clinic, is one of the largest teaching hospital trusts in England, serving a regional, national and international population. The Trust is a regional centre for cancer, trauma, renal dialysis, burns and plastics, HIV and AIDS, as well as respiratory conditions like cystic fibrosis. It has expertise in premature baby care, bone marrow transplants and thoracic surgery and provides the largest solid organ transplantation programme in Europe. It provides a series of highly specialist cardiac, liver and neurosurgery services to patients from across the UK. Having over 22,000 members of staff across five main sites and providing cutting edge medical services requires a significant investment in IT equipment and services. The Trust’s IT department employs over 300 staff. It is regarded as a Global Digital Exemplar and is accredited with ISO9001 and ISO27001. The department maintains and supports over 45,000 hardware assets, including around 3,300 laptops and 11,000 PC devices. To maintain a high level of service, serviceability and security, IT equipment is subject to a continual refresh cycle, in which around 4,000 Dell PCs installed at hospital and clinical locations across the Trust are replaced each year. The Trust now seeks a suitably experienced and qualified contractor to fully manage all aspects of this service.

Suppliers who are able to offer solutions relevant to this requirement are invited to express an interest and respond to a market engagement questionnaire. Further details on how to do this are contained within the additional information section of this notice.
