Framework Appointment - 7 May 2008

System C is appointed to new Framework Contract from NHS Connecting for Health

System C Healthcare PLC ("System C") (AIM:SYS), the provider of specialist IT products and services to the healthcare sector, today announced that it has secured its appointment to a framework agreement to provide a range of IT products and services to the NHS.

The company was successful in all of the sixteen categories that it bid for, and now holds framework contracts for its Patient Administration (PAS), maternity and A&E systems, as well as a wide range of clinical software.  System C was also successful in its bid to provide associated consultancy services such as deployment, data migration, training and interfacing for all of the above.

The new Additional Supply Capability and Capacity (ASCC) framework contracts are for a four year duration. They will allow NHS organisations and other NHS-funded establishments such as Independent Treatment Centres a faster and easier route to procure IT systems and services from suppliers who have demonstrated experience in the health sector.  ASCC can be used to support both National Programme for IT (NPfIT) related work and wider IT related projects.

System C's CEO, Dr Ian Denley, said "The NHS has been in need of a dedicated healthcare framework catalogue for many years, so this is a very exciting initiative from NHS Connecting for Health.  Healthcare is an extremely complex area, which demands dedicated products and specialist skills and knowledge."

He added: "System C Healthcare is totally committed to fulfilling the needs of patients and healthcare workers in the NHS and other UK healthcare providers, and success in being appointed to the ASCC framework contracts is an important step in our plans for growth over the coming years. 

"I am delighted with the performance of our company in this bid process, and that NHS CFH has, after its thorough procurement exercise, seen fit to include our full range of products and services to the frameworks."
