Ltd, the UK’s leading NHS e-procurement consultancy, has
recently announced that ten leading NHS acute Trusts are now piloting
its innovative online supplier catalogue and contract data system.
Based on hybris and JEE technology, and customised and implemented
by Tier 2 Consulting,
HL-hybris provides a single source of reference for catalogue,
contract and contract price data. The next phase of development
of the system is now about to begin.
Hertford, UK – October 5, 2009 – Tier
2 Consulting announced today that the next phase of the development
of Healthlogistics’ HL-hybris catalogue and contract management
system is about to begin. This will deliver outstanding search,
contract generation and dashboard functionality for both Trusts
and suppliers.
As
part of the roll-out, some 900 suppliers working with these ten
Trusts, including Kings College Hospital, Royal Brompton &
Harefield and Sheffield Teaching Hospitals Foundation Trusts,
are now or will soon be providing filtered product, price and
contract data via their dedicated web portal where they can securely
and confidentially access data specific to them.
These
acute and acute Foundation Trusts are pioneering the adoption
of private-sector best practices and are keen to achieve the cost
benefits of efficient supply chain management and data synchronicity.
Commenting
on the continuing development of HL-hybris, Healthlogistics’
Director Peter Elwin said, “As a hybris Premium Business
Partner, Tier 2
Consulting has a proven track record in system integration and
configuration. As we continue to enhance the platform, and as
each new Trust adopts the HL-hybris solution, we benefit from
the technical expertise of Tier
2 to help us bed-in new Trusts and support this initiative
over the long term. I’m confident that we have the best
team in place to do that.”
Andy
Kennedy, Director at Tier
2 Consulting, commented: “We were delighted to be chosen
in 2008 by Healthlogistics to deliver the technical aspects of
their HL-hybris offering, and are excited about the many exciting
further enhancements that are planned over the coming year. The
combination of Healthlogistics’ undoubted expertise in the
field of NHS e-procurement, Tier
2’s technical experience and the extensive functionality
of the core hybris system has resulted in a truly innovative platform”.
