Description of the procurement

The requirement is to procure a single consolidated contract for Child Health Information Services (CHIS) to replace the existing Surrey and Thames Valley contracts. In addition to the core CHIS service there will be a supplementary service, the Improving Immunisation Uptake (IIU) Initiative which is currently delivered in the Thames Valley area: this service will require implementation across the whole contracted area (Surrey and Thames Valley).
The primary function of the CHIS is to provide a comprehensive local record of a child’s health status as measured against the requirements of the public health programmes (screening, immunisation and other health protection or health improvement interventions. This includes the Healthy Child Programme 0-19 years and 364 days for all children, or 0-25 years and 364 days for children and young people with additional needs, including special educational needs and disability) and of their community-based healthcare.
The CHIS service is being commissioned to include all children who are:
• registered with a General Practice in the area
• resident in the specified area whether registered with a general practice or not
• educated in the specified area
CHIS comprises of three core elements:
• an IT system - the Child Health Information (IT) System used by the Provider to
capture and record clinical activity
• a Child Health Records Department (CHRD) - a workforce that supports, maintains
and administers the IT system, providing data validation, failsafe and reporting
functions
• a parent-held Personal Child Health Record (PCHR) – otherwise known as the ‘Red
Book’.
