Softcat new device partner for Liverpool University Hospitals

Softcat has scored a new contract to be the new device partner for Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

The Trust is giving Softcat £4 million to sort out its end-user devices, peripherals, pre-staging, deployment, engineering, and recycling services. It will help deliver modern health-specific solutions.

Adam Rice, public sector director at Softcat, said: “Softcat plc is delighted to be working with the Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust to support the organisation sort out its digital transformation.

“The contract builds on over 10 years’ experience in helping our healthcare and NHS customers deliver a safer, efficient environment for their staff and patients.”

Softcat is an approved supplier on over 50 UK&I government frameworks.

“NHS Trusts are being challenged by the need to transform the way they deliver care, while continuing to manage unprecedented demand”. Rice said.

“By helping Trusts harness the power of technology, we enable them to meet the challenge head on and improve outcomes, and patient and employee experiences.”

The deal will support the opening and operation of Liverpool’s new 640-bed hospital, which is due to open in September 2022.
