ICT Solutions

Digital transformation is now a public sector imperative. HealthTrust Europe’s (HTE’s) ICT Solutions 2019 Framework has been specifically designed to enable technology leaders to work in partnership with public sector organisations to shape and deliver their digitisation and transformational goals. 

Innovative digital architecture is the backbone of the healthcare system and wider public sector. Interoperability, ease of access to data and systems integration and communication; ensuring the right data gets to the right place at the right time is paramount to the delivery of public services.

HTE’s ICT Solutions 2019 Framework (ComIT 2 – Complete IT), enables the most cost-effective and simplest route to market for your entire Information Communication Technology and digitisation requirements, across the complete IT vendor and Reseller landscape.

The single lot framework covers Enterprise Level Solutions across five core categories for end-to-end digital requirements including;

• Hardware

• Computer Science

These incorporate any need your organisation may have, whether as individual requirements or as combined solutions and support the provision of; all Hardware, Audio Visual solutions, Software, Programs, Applications, Cloud, Cyber security, Computer Science, Robotics and Automation, Data Mining, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR) Managed Services, Consultancy, Support and helpdesk outsourcing and associated Technology Assisted Services.

Whilst this framework provides the broadest scope of solutions for the entire public sector, whether you are looking to purchase specialist electronic patient records software or manage large scale office transformation, it is the most straightforward way to manage your organisational ICT needs. Fully supported by our own procurement experts, we will explore the most appropriate procurement path, whether from one vendor or across a multitude of market leading suppliers.

The framework enables a range of purchase options and value add benefits including; storage and logistics, configuration, finance, Device as a Service (DaaS) and leasing; enabling customers to update their ICT estate in a way that best meets their individual needs or the needs of their Integrated Care Systems (ICS).

Whether purchasing off-the shelf hardware or software, or creating bespoke technologies including white-labelled software, this framework enables you to develop best in class ICT solutions that will facilitate you on your digital transformation journey. The awarded suppliers are vendor agnostic Value-Added Resellers (VAR’s), with a wealth of supply partnerships, extensive experience and logistics capabilities, and a range of accreditations, certifications, and standards.

Our suppliers use a combination of in-house capability and expertise, alongside their long-established vendor, manufacturer, and supply partner relationships to develop exclusive value propositions which are unique to your requirements. This encourages innovation in the marketplace in addition to providing opportunities for smaller, niche Suppliers who otherwise may not have a platform to supply their solutions. From Specification design to project delivery; our awarded partners have the knowledge and skillset you need to help deliver ICT projects of any scale effectively and efficiently.

The transformation of healthcare services, accelerated by the COVID pandemic of 2020, has driven a focus on collaborative utilisation of advanced technology and data solutions. The rise to prominence of digital health solutions, aimed at unifying the delivery of healthcare services both in the home and within a healthcare setting, improves access to speciality medical services while decreasing the costs of delivery at point of use. The framework enables you to take advantage of, and leverage, emerging technologies such as connected devices and IoT (Internet of Things), cloud, Telehealth, Telemedicine, artificial intelligence, automation, robotics, back-office solutions and big data, to improve diagnostics and overall healthcare delivery.

Outside of healthcare, and as we transition into the modern workspace, advancements in connectivity, including the role out of 5G technology, have created endless possibilities to enable people and organisations to collaborate and share in real time or virtually, in a seamless environment, from any location, on any device. Our ICT framework fully embraces this modern world approach, acknowledging open standards whilst bringing together all the tools needed to improve communication, increase productivity and advance data processing capabilities on any platform.

Secure identity and user authentication are critical to the safe and appropriate use of technology in all settings. As digital leaders, our suppliers act as a single point of accountability to ensure all necessary and relevant standards are adhered to and exceeded. As cyber security and data threats become increasingly complex and evolve at a rapid pace, our Framework enables organisations to have everything in place to protect themselves, their employees and their customers hardware, systems and data.

Technology can lead to positive change and the framework provides the opportunity for Suppliers to demonstrate initiatives and programmes they have in place to promote Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Environmental, Sustainability and Social Economical Value. Our partners can support the education, development and delivery of meaningful measures and objectives to help your organisation achieve it’s own ambitions.

We understand that “value” means different things in different situations and take this into account when considering routes to procure. Whether you are looking to achieve cost savings on IT Hardware, or time saving efficiencies through simplified contracting, our enterprise level market leading pricing, value added service wraps and combining of vendor products and solutions means that you can secure value however you define it.
