Novosco has completed the first phase of a £107 million contract with Cambridge University Hospitals to manage IT infrastructure and support services.
In June 2018, Novosco, which was recently acquired by Munich-based CANCOM Group, secured the £107m contract to manage IT infrastructure for Cambridge University Hospitals.
The company has now completed phase one of the contract by taking over the management and support of CUH’s IT systems and making the company the trust’s primary IT infrastructure service and support supplier.
Dr Afzal Chaudhry, Director of Digital and Chief Clinical Information Officer, CUH “As one of the most digitally mature NHS trusts in the country, we continuously strive to embrace advancements in technology to support the provision of high quality patient care. Our partnership with Novosco will enable us to further develop and extend the capabilities of our digital services over the years to come, bringing further benefits to our patients and to our hospital staff and healthcare partners.”
John Lennon, Managing Director, Novosco “We’re extremely pleased to have delivered operational service commencement, taking us into the second stage of the contract and the delivery of vital IT managed services.”
“We look forward to working closely with the CUH team to support them by providing world-class IT services that will help the trust continue to deliver sustainable, efficient and effective care for its patients at Addenbrooke’s and the Rosie maternity hospital.”
The company said it delivered phase one of the project on budget and on time, and successfully delivered operational service commencement on November 19.
In November, Novosco also announced that it had launched its dedicated security operations centre in Belfast and created 12 new jobs to operate it following a half million-pound investment. The new centre, based at the company’s headquarters in Catalyst Inc, will enable the firm to provide specialist IT security services to organisations across the UK and Ireland.
