Computer and Related Services Projects Framework

South Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (SEPT) provide community health, mental health and learning disability services for a population of approx. 2.5 million people throughout Bedfordshire, Essex and Luton. Growing to one of the largest Foundation Trusts in the country we are proud to have kept our patients at the very heart of all that we do, delivering safe, high quality services within the NHS. The Trust is establishing a framework agreement for the provision of IT maintenance and consultancy. The framework will provide contracts to deliver a variety of services including but not limited to desk top deployment, IT cabling, system development and project management. The objectives of this framework agreement are as follows. The Trust is seeking suppliers who will assist us in meeting the IM&T strategy objectives:• To provide high-quality, suitably qualified resources s to supplement the resource available from within the Trust• To provide a fast and agile route for the Trust to appoint IT resources • To deliver value for money (it is expected that because of the removed need to undertake a full tender process for each role, and the potential for increased business, that savings will be realised against current contract spend)• To maintain a supply base that is committed to working with the Trust and to providing high quality personnel throughout the duration of the contract period.
