NHS SBS INTELLIGENT AUTOMATION (SBS10137)

Description

NHS Shared Business Services act in an Agency capacity for and on behalf of its customers (Approved Organisations) - existing and new. These comprise of NHS and Social Care organisations (whether acting individually, or on behalf of, or together as members of any consortia) along with any other public or private sector bodies which NHS SBS authorises to use the resulting Framework. NHS Shared Business Services Limited (NHS SBS) has put in place a Framework Agreement that allows NHS organisations and other public sector bodies to purchase Intelligent Automation. The Intelligent Automation Framework provides a contractual vehicle to support the adoption, implementation and on-going development of Intelligent Automation across Approved Organisations, offering access to services and software that will address a wide range of Intelligent Automation solutions. Intelligent Automation (IA) is a developing technology due to its capacity to increase efficiency, reduce costs, and improve quality. Our Approved Organisation list can be found on: https://www.sbs.nhs.uk/proc-information-for-suppliers The Framework is structured using the following Lots: Lot 1 - Intelligent Automation Services Lot 2 - Intelligent Automation Software & Licensing Lot 3 - Intelligent Automation as a Service (IAaaS) Lot 1: Intelligent Automation Services This Lot allows Approved Organisations to procure Intelligent Automation Services from consultancy and implementation to on-going support. This Lot is designed for Approved Organisations who require the expertise and specialised support from Intelligent Automation service providers in setting up and implementing an in-house Intelligent Automation service for their organisation, with the end goal being to transfer the day to day running of Intelligent Automation back to the Approved Organisation. It is expected that Approved Organisations will procure such services and solutions on a project by project/requirement by requirement basis. The 25 Suppliers awarded to Lot 1 have met all the mandatory requirements for this Lot as detailed in the tender documents for the Framework Agreement. Lot 2: Intelligent Automation Software & Licensing This Lot allows Approved Organisations to procure 'off the shelf' Intelligent Automation Software and Licensing direct from software vendor suppliers. This Lot is designed for Approved Organisations who are building or already have an established in-house Intelligent Automation function but require a compliant contractual route to purchase further Intelligent Automation software, solutions, and licenses. The 13 Suppliers awarded to Lot 2 have met all the mandatory requirements for this Lot as detailed in the tender documents for the Framework Agreement. Lot 3: Intelligent Automation as a Service (IAaaS) Intelligent Automation as a Service (IAaaS) is an outcome based, Managed Service solution whereby Approved Organisations can fully outsource their Intelligent Automation requirements to a third-party service provider. This Lot is designed to make Intelligent Automation more accessible to Approved Organisations by allowing them to procure on an entirely outcome based/service consumption based, fixed price-per-process operating and commercial subscription model. It is designed for Approved Organisations who want to completely outsource the day to day running of an Intelligent Automation service and solution due to barriers to entry into this area such as funding and lack of internal expertise. The 16 Suppliers awarded to Lot 3 have met all the mandatory requirements for this Lot as detailed in the tender documents for the Framework Agreement.
