Having the right software systems in place can reassure staff that your trust is supporting them in the day to day challenges they face, whether that is eRostering or payroll or staff bank management. This is why lot 3a of our Data and Application Solutions (DAS) framework for Enterprise Applications for Health has joined the Workforce Alliance portfolio of health workforce solutions.
What are Enterprise Applications?
Enterprise Applications are software solutions that provide business logic and tools to model business processes and help you improve productivity and efficiency.
What can you buy?
Developed with input from the Department of Health and Social Care and the NHS, lot 3a of the framework gives you access to systems designed to meet the needs of NHS trusts. Solutions include:
- eRostering systems
- timesheet approvals
- staff bank management systems
How do you buy?
The time and resources needed to change systems sometimes outweigh potential savings. That’s why the catalogue route to market enables you to explore how you might update your existing systems without the need to conduct a further competition.
Different customers have different needs. Some want to retain their current software system with support from additional services, while others require new and innovative solutions or simply want to extend the life of their existing asset. All this can be done through the catalogue.
If you’re looking for a brand new solution you can do that too – you’ll need to run a further competition though.
That’s why DAS has been created as a truly flexible procurement solution. It uses simplified terms and conditions written in a clear and concise manner to take away the complexity, alongside ICT-specific schedules which are more relevant to how procurement teams work.
