two.2.4) Description of the procurement
The Trust is seeking to evaluate and procure the most efficient staff rostering software for all staff groups. Electronic staff rostering is a component of the Trust digital strategy. Our vision is to provide electronic rostering solutions across all medical, nursing and allied health professional groups with a primary aim of patient safety - right person, right place, right time, right competence. In delivering this vision we aim to achieve the highest levels of attainment through effective workforce management, whilst focussing on the positive experience of all staff groups as users of electronic rostering solutions.
In meeting this requirement, at South Tees NHS Foundation Trust we recognise the complexities of working patterns and contractual arrangements across all our staff groups. An electronic rostering solution must work for all staff groupings, in all contractual configurations. Whilst a single supplier solution may achieve these objectives, we are open to the potential benefits of a dual supplier solution(s), where a single supplier’s product(s) is/are focussed on best practice for a specific staff grouping(s).
