The Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is launching a £60m procurement in the hope that it can better manage staffing with the magic of software.
The proposed framework is set to be open to other NHS organisations, and offer a range of tools and solutions to deliver measurable improvements in all areas of workforce management, a tender document said.
The winning bidder is set to act as partner to support and facilitate a workforce transformation journey, it said.
Ah, the transformation journey, that ill-fitting phrase used by breathless marketing types. Apparently, in this case it will start with a focus on temporary workforce spend; controlling agency usage, developing stronger staff banks, facilitating collaboration and providing access to actionable workforce intelligence.
