NHS Scotland Business Systems Technology & Systems Integration Services

NHS National Services Scotland (NSS) wishes to procure an integrated, cloud-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution for Finance, HR, Payroll and Procurement functions for all NHS Scotland Boards and a Systems Implementer to design, deliver and implement the chosen SaaS solution to meet the requirements. NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), on behalf of NHS Scotland, is conducting a single procurement process which integrates both aspects of the scope for NHS Scotland Business Systems Technology & Systems Integration Services through a Competitive Procedure with Negotiation (under Regulation 30 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015).

NHS Scotland requires the SaaS Technology and System Integrator suppliers to work together in partnership from the outset ("Bidding Partnership") to jointly propose a cohesive solution and delivery approach which meets NHS Scotland’s outcome-based requirements and demonstrates they are a compatible supplier partnership.

The split is as follows: Systems Integrator - 56m GBP SaaS Technology - 120m GBP The initial contract duration listed in section II.2.7 is split as follows: Systems Integrator - 36 months SaaS Technology - 156 months
