Competition

Typical: a median of 4 bids per contract for IT and software contracts in this region (from 113 awards in the last 12 months).

What the notice says

ESNEFT are looking for a Health Rostering system that would provide visibility of movement of staff across wards, enable the Trust to model future staffing scenarios; provide managers with the visibility to allocate shifts according to patient requirements rather than ad hoc staff requests, as well as the transparency to understand how rostering decisions impact upon budgets. The Authority reserves the right not to proceed to procurement where it is determined that the service is no longer required, alternative delivery arrangements are available, existing contractual extension provisions can be utilised, or for any other operational, commercial, or strategic reason.

How to bid
