Ingenica Solutions joins national framework agreement

Ingenica Solutions has been awarded approved supplier status on the Solent Supplies Team National Framework Agreement for the provision of inventory management systems.

The framework provides NHS trusts and other public and private sector organisations with the option of contracting with Ingenica Solutions without the need to undertake their own tender exercise.

Solent Supplies Team (SST) provides procurement support for NHS trusts.

David Ford, executive director of Ingenica Solutions, said of the deal: “Ingenica is now leading the way in delivering inventory management solutions across the healthcare sector so we are very pleased to have been awarded approved supplier status following a rigorous procurement process. Ingenica has demonstrated that it has what it takes to be successful on the national framework, which covers both the public and private sector.

“Inventory management is a major issue for organisations across the NHS, and the implementation of innovative inventory management solutions facilitates significant financial and operational efficiencies. It is core to the supply chain, and subsequently must be at the heart of transformation. In fact, the data generated by an effective inventory management system can empower today’s healthcare professionals at all levels by providing visibility, control and simplicity in a complex, fast-moving clinical environment.”

Nicola Hall, managing director, added: “We believe in delivering robust solutions to empower healthcare professionals to rethink existing processes and transform their approach to inventory management. Being awarded preferred supplier status on the SST National Framework is testament to our commitment to the sector and our forward-thinking approach.”
