Airedale NHS Foundation Trust (AFT), Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (BTH), and optionally Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust (CHT) (together, the Contracting Authorities (hereafter the CAs)) are issuing a joint invitation to tender ("ITT") in connection with a competitive procurement of a digital-by-default patient experience portal (PEP) and hybrid mail solution. The CAs intend to procure a joint solution, led by BTH, but maintain individual instances for each individual contracting authority of both the PEP and hybrid mail. The CAs will also have separate contract managers.
BTH and CHT's current electronic patient record (EPR) is run by Oracle Corporation UK Ltd (formerly known as Cerner, hereafter referred to as Oracle), and it is anticipated AFT will join on the same domain in 2026. Any solution being proposed must be able to natively integrate with our EPR by 1st March 2026.
The CAs are looking for partners to help drive a digital transformation in outpatient pathways. There is an expectation that the successful supplier(s) will provide ongoing support and in-line continual service improvement. The successful supplier(s) will be expected to lead and programme manage the entirety of the implementation, including process mapping, analysis, optimisation, testing, implementation, and aftercare.
The implementation of any new solution by the end of February 2026 must maintain the current level of functionality as a minimum, so as not to undermine current capabilities and services for patients. That includes hybrid mail to print and post letters from multiple systems; digital letters; automatic SMS appointment reminders; digital forms; and waiting list validation.
CAs are seeking to optimise and transform the way in which they deliver outpatient services to improve operational efficiency, reduce operating costs, improve patient care, and reduce health inequalities. This must be achieved in the context of changing national policies (NHS 10 Year Plan, Elective Recovery Reform), One Digital Estate, Patient Care Aggregator (Wayfinder) and the NHS App (all as minimum).

Born in Bradford (BiB) at Bradford Teaching Hospital Foundation Trust (BTHFT) is seeking to appoint one or more community-based organisations with experience in community engagement and established community networks to collaborate and contribute to “Community Collaboratives” and to support the delivery of research for the Healthy Urban Places (HUP) programme.
Healthy Urban Places (HUP), funded by UK Research Innovation and part of Population Health Improvement UK, is a four-year research programme which aims to create a step change in understanding how best to harness the power of local urban places as tools to improve population health and reduce inequalities.
HUP is exploring how and why local environments (e.g. housing, local amenities, access to jobs, availability of community or social spaces, the way decisions are made or resources invested) influence people’s health, through research with communities and local stakeholders. HUP are establishing ‘Community Collaboratives’ that bring together communities, researchers and decision-makers in Bradford and our sister site, Liverpool. HUP aims to co-produce insights and priorities about what makes a healthy place and seeks to influence place-based changes through local policy and practice. HUP is now seeking community-based organisations to join and take an active role in the Community Collaboratives.
HUP researchers will support community organisations in this collaborative work. Community-based organisations will be responsible for coordinating community-led research activities in their area and engaging local communities and stakeholders. The HUP research team will provide training on research skills and actively support community organisations to co-produce meaningful research on healthy urban places, which can then be shared with local, regional and national decision-makers.

We have a project called ‘BiB: Teenage Stories’ which is a qualitative research project working with a diverse range of Young People in Bradford to understand what it is like to grow up in Bradford.
Part of this involves a portrait session with award winning photographer Carolyn Mendelsohn which includes a Young People sitting for a portrait and having an interview with Carolyn about their lives. This is then used as part of the qualitative research of BiB: Age of Wonder so we can form a wide picture of the lives of Young People in Bradford and advise policy makers on how to improve their health and wellbeing.
Initially this part of the project was to happen for 2 years, but due to the success we would like to extend until the end of the BiB: Age of Wonder project which is another 4 years.
