NHS Supply Chain has extended iSOFT's contract to host its e-commerce and logistics applications until 2010, the IT provider has announced.
The contract is an extension of a ten-year partnership that began with NHS Supply Chain’s predecessor NHS Logistics.
The solution provided by iSOFT, which is part of the IBA Health Group, includes a fully hosted management service and a dual data centre operation. Applications are run in tandem at two separate data centres to safeguard against potential disasters.
Warehouse and management distributions applications are developed and supported by IBA subsidiary iB solutions under a separate contract.
Paul Richards, managing director of iSOFT UK and Ireland, said: “The long-standing relationship with NHS Supply Chain is built on a true partnership in which we constantly review and develop our service model with the customer to ensure we continually meet its evolving business requirements.”
NHS Supply Chain delivers equipment and supplies to 600 NHS hospitals, GP surgeries and other healthcare organisations from six regional distribution centres, as well as providing an online ordering facility and other e-commerce services.
