Market Engagement Event for London and Central Midlands Child Health Information Service (CHIService)

NHS England (London and Central Midlands Region) would like to invite Bidders to attend a Market Engagement Event which will inform the market of the intentions to procure Child Health Information Services (CHIService) for London and Central Midlands .

Every child deserves to have a complete screening by their 1st birthday and a complete immunisations record before they go to school. The NHS and Local Authorities need to understand where every child is living. London currently has 21 small and isolated teams who are struggling to keep track of all of big-data.

We have landed men on the moon and brought them back again. We have landed rovers on Mars to take #MarsSelfies. We now want to engage with Bidders who are interested in helping NHS England, London and Central Midlands Region~

• Develop a service which will take account of and be able to analyse ~ 140,000 pregnant women, each with some screening results 135,000 live-births each with ~ New Born Hearing Screening results New Born Blood Spot Screening results New infant Physical Examination results at 72 hours and again at 6-8 weeks Neonatal BCG (universal) and HepB (as relevant) All immunisations activity under 5 years old, as per DH Green Book, JCVI and COVER Reporting.

Please be advised that there is a comprehensive overview of what the Bidders are expected to help us with in the attached document. The above list had to be shortened to adhere to character limits in the publication portal.
