Description

This procurement seeks to meet NHSGGC requirements for the design, supply, implementation and support for a new anaesthetics rota management system.

Total Quantity or Scope

The Anaesthetic departments within NHSGG&C require a Rota Management Systems. Most Anaesthetic departments, currently rely on an inefficient manual paper based process. Managing the daily allocations of staff effectively and efficiently is increasingly difficult as service demands become more complex. Allocating the appropriate clinician therefore takes time and is reliant on prompt contact / feedback from clinicians. This is particularly true when covering sickness / responding to emergency demand Inefficiencies can result in less than optimum use of expensive anaesthetic resource and unnecessary patient / list cancellations. This has significant impact on surgical services and subsequent delays to patient treatment.

Other Information

For more information see: http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/info/InfoCentre.aspx?ID=2361 A summary of the expected community benefits has been provided as follows: The Public Sector in Scotland is committed to the delivery of high quality public services, and recognises that this is critically dependent on a workforce that is well-rewarded, well-motivated, well-led, has access to appropriate opportunities for training and skills development, diverse and engaged in decision making. These factors are also important for workforce recruitment and retention, and thus continuity of service. Public Bodies in Scotland are adopting fair work practices, which include: A fair and equal pay policy that includes a commitment to supporting the Living Wage, including, for example being a Living Wage Accredited Employer; clear managerial responsibility to nurture talent and help individuals fulfil their potential, including for example, a strong commitment to Modern Apprenticeships and the development of Scotland's young workforce; Promoting equality of opportunity and developing a workforce which reflects the population of Scotland in terms of characteristics such as age, gender, religion or belief, race, sexual orientation and disability; Support for learning and development; Stability of employment and hours of work, and avoiding exploitative employment practices, including for example no inappropriate use of zero-hours contracts; Flexible working (including for example practices such as flexi-time and career breaks) and support for family friendly working and wider work life balance; Support progressive workforce engagement, for example Trade Union recognition and representation where possible, otherwise alternative arrangements to give staff an effective voice. In order to ensure the highest standards of service quality in this contract we expect contractors to take a similarly positive approach to fair work practices as part of a fair and equitable employment and reward package. Please describe how you will commit to fair work practices for workers (including any agency or sub-contractor workers) engaged in the delivery of this contract. (SC Ref:709013)
