Servelec Healthcare awarded a position on a major new procurement framework

The Board of Servelec Group plc is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a position on a major new procurement framework that has been developed by leading business support specialist NHS Shared Business Services for use across the NHS.

The framework provides Trusts with a rapid procurement route and a focus on a comprehensive set of functional requirements that enable users to localize their requirements. It also provides value for money and systems integration. The framework has six lots: Core PAS; ED Emergency; Theatres, Child Health; Maternity; and E-prescribing.

Servelec Healthcare has been placed across all six lots on the framework with consistently high scores in the selection process, an indication of the strength of Servelec Healthcare's strong product capabilities and reference ability in the market.

This is a significant step for Servelec Healthcare as it will enable NHS Trusts to save time and money when procuring new solutions by avoiding the need to go through the full OJEU process.

The Board estimates that this creates an addressable market of over £500m. It is expected that tender activity against the framework will begin in the first half of 2015.

Alan Stubbs, Chief Executive, commented:

"We are delighted to have been awarded a position for all six lots on this very important procurement framework. It is a critical step forward as we focus on capitalising on the substantial growth opportunity we have identified in the North Refresh."
