Some language patterns suggest this RFP may be written for a specific incumbent vendor. Review qualification requirements and brand-specific terms carefully before committing bid resources.
West Hertfordshire Hospitals NHS Trust awards a contract for the CLCH Virtual Hospital, a remote patient monitoring service that uses technology to track conditions for patients with heart failure, COPD, and acute respiratory infections. The service enables patients to stay at home while saving NHS bed space. The award is made to the existing provider without competition, as they have fully satisfied the original COVID-19 contract and are expected to deliver to a sufficient standard. The contract covers continued delivery of the virtual hospital model beyond COVID-19.
