Quality Control (QC) Data Management Software

The agency is seeking a vendor to provide quality control data management software to monitor both quantitative and qualitative quality control data. The software will enable data access, analysis, review, management, tracking, statistical evaluation, and verification of quality control performed at all laboratory sites. The system must assign different levels of permission access to staff, including basic operator, key operator, and administrator roles. The software must capture real-time quality control data generated by various analysers, instrument managers, and middleware software without manual intervention, while also supporting manual entry of quality control points. It must facilitate different levels of quality control data review, such as bench-level and supervisory reviews, with signatures or identification of the reviewer. The agency requires central administrator access to review quality control performance at multiple sites and the ability to specify expected results for qualitative tests to reject data values outside acceptable limits. The requested system must automatically calculate statistical parameters like mean, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, standard error, and measurement of uncertainty. It must feature Levey-Jennings multi-rule quality control application capabilities, including Westgard rules, and allow tailoring of these rules for each assay to ensure high error detection and avoid false rejections. The software must compare data from a single assay on multiple analysers, review data from multiple assays on a single analyser, flag random or systematic errors, and maintain compatibility with other manufacturers' and in-house quality control materials. The agency requires the software to integrate and be compatible with Data Innovation or other middleware software to capture quantitative and qualitative results. Only onshore bidders located in Canada are eligible to compete for this opportunity. The performance of the work will take place offsite, and bidders must submit their proposals digitally via email or online. The agency is looking for proposals to establish the budget, and no key dates are provided in the source.
