Anti Coagulation System
- Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
Procurement identifier (OCID): ocds-h6vhtk-069106
Description
The Trust intends to make a direct award to DAWN Health for the provision of an anticoagulation clinical information system following the planned withdrawal of the incumbent RAID system, which will no longer be supported after 30 November 2026. A review of the available UK market identified that DAWN AC is the only solution capable of meeting the Trust's essential clinical, operational, and technical requirements for an acute NHS anticoagulation service, including the safe management of both warfarin and direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) patients at scale and integration with existing Trust systems. Alternative systems were assessed and confirmed as unsuitable due to limitations in functionality and interoperability. The proposed award will ensure continuity of a critical, high‑risk clinical service supporting approximately 7,000 patients and avoid disruption to patient care. On this basis, and as no reasonable alternative or substitute exists within the required timeframe, the Trust has concluded that a direct award to DAWN Health is appropriate.
