Engagement process description
Market engagement relevant to this procurement commenced during the NAA Common CAD project, with an industry day held in 2021 including presentations from suppliers with the potential to deliver a single solution across the three service lines and suppliers with a specialist solution for 111 or PTS. In preparation for a YAS common CAD, invitation was sent to previously identified suppliers from the NAA CAD Project, with the potential to deliver a single solution across all service lines, to provide demos of their system in 2023. Additionally, YAS engaged contracting authorities within the UK Ambulance sector to get a better understanding of the current market conditions.
