The Health Service Executive (HSE), National Screening Service (NSS) operates four population-based programmes in Ireland serving over 1.5 million eligible citizens annually – representing one of Europe’s most comprehensive screening systems. One of the programmes is BreastCheck – the national breast screening programme. All modern breast screening programmes face increasing operational pressures including rising patient volumes, radiologist workforce shortages, and growing demands for faster turnaround times while maintaining diagnostic accuracy. The complexity of mammographic interpretation, combined with the need for consistent performance across large screening populations, creates challenges in delivering timely, high-quality care. Reader fatigue and workload pressures can impact diagnostic consistency, particularly during extended screening sessions. Additionally, there is mounting pressure to improve early detection rates while minimizing false positives and unnecessary recalls. To address these challenges and enhance our screening programme’s effectiveness, we are exploring AI solutions that can augment radiologist capabilities, improve workflow efficiency, and maintain consistent diagnostic performance across our national screening network. As part of our due diligence process for implementing AI technology in BreastCheck, the NSS are conducting a comprehensive premarket consultation with potential AI solution providers. This consultation aims to evaluate available technologies against our specific clinical, technical, and regulatory requirements before making procurement decisions.

4. Request to Participate (“RTP”) in a DPS for the provision of Unified Cyber Incident Response service. The HSE is the Contracting Authority for this public procurement competition on its own behalf and on behalf of all organisations funded by the HSE. On 14 May 2021, the HSE was subjected to a serious criminal cyberattack (the “Incident”), through the infiltration of IT systems using Conti Ransomware. Over 80 percent of IT infrastructure impacted leading to unavailability of key patient information and diagnostics. To rapidly enhance the security operations and strengthen the cyber defence posture post the Incident, a number of security services were stood up on an emergency basis. HSE are now in the journey towards standardising these capabilities and associated services. The Post Incident Review (PIR) that was carried out following the incident has highlighted the need for integrating existing siloed incident response processes into a unified cyber incident response capability. The vision of this service is to effectively and consistently have the capability to unify the cyber incident response across multiple HSE organisational constructs.

6. DPS Qualification: Provision of Remote Health Monitoring Technologies to Support the Implementation of Virtual Ward Care Model Solutions
(HSE ref. 23112)
The HSE is issuing this Request to Participate (“RTP”) in a Dynamic Purchasing System (hereafter ‘the DPS’) for the provision of Remote Health Monitoring Technologies to support the implementation of Virtual Ward care models via a fully end to end vendor managed solution. The HSE is the Contracting Authority for this public procurement competition on its own behalf and on behalf of all organisations funded by the HSE. A Virtual Ward is a time-limited, safe, and efficient alternative to bedded care enabled by technology that aims to support people who have an acute condition, or exacerbation of a chronic condition requiring hospital-level care, to receive this high acuity care in the place they call home. This approach can provide both an alternative to hospital admission at the Emergency Department, and/or facilitate an earlier discharge from a hospital ward for medical and surgical patients. This DPS will support the implementation of Virtual Wards and associated service capabilities within adult, older persons, and paediatric services across, but not limited to, respiratory, cardiology, and endocrinology pathways. The HSE is seeking to procure an effective and successful market proven, end-to-end vendor managed solution ready for immediate deployment. A central component of the Virtual Ward Solution supported by Remote Health Monitoring Technologies service will be a comprehensive fully vendor managed (end-to-end) solution, including the provision and support of a suite of web-based application(s) and clinical measurement equipment, to facilitate acute clinical care delivered remotely by a multidisciplinary team (MDT) if clinically appropriate and with clear lines of clinical responsibility and governance. This solution will facilitate the avoidance of hospital admission and/or early hospital discharge by providing safe technology that allows suitable patients to be clinically monitored from where they call home.

It is envisaged that this new digitalisation would become the default approach for document storage thereby reducing costs, paper waste and ultimately the HSE’s carbon footprint.
