The contract extends the ten-year partnership with NHS Supply Chain, which began with its predecessor NHS Logistics. Operated by DHL Logistics, NHS Supply Chain manages over four million NHS orders a year and aims to provide savings of over GBP1 billion to the NHS over ten years.
The warehouse management and distribution applications are developed and supported by IBA subsidiary iB Solutions under a separate contract.
Paul Richards, managing director of iSOFT UK and Ireland, said: We have an enviable record of providing a consistently reliable service over many years. Importantly, 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.
