PACS Solution for New CT Post-Mortem Service

West Northamptonshire Council is inviting quotations for the provision, implementation, support and maintenance of a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) to support a new CT post-mortem imaging service at our newly built County Mortuary. Information relating to the quotation and associated timescales are contained within the Request for Quotation attached. The service will utilise a Siemens SOMATOM go.Up CT Scanner and requires a PACS solution capable of meeting the attached functional and non-functional requirements. Suppliers are requested to complete the response section of the attached requirements spreadsheet and provide all requested supporting information. Please also send a draft copy of your standard contract terms and conditions ahead of or as part of your response.

Background

The PACS will support a newly established CT post-mortem imaging service. As this is a new implementation, there is no legacy PACS system and no requirement for data migration. Our priority is to establish the service as quickly as possible whilst ensuring compliance with the operational, security, retention and interoperability requirements detailed in the attached specification.
