NHS Shared Business Services becomes the largest external payroll processing provider in the NHS
~ NHS Professionals signs £19 million finance, accounting and payroll contract ~
Xansa, the outsourcing and technology company, is pleased to announce that NHS Shared Business Services has signed a £19 million, six year contract to provide finance and accounting (F&A) and payroll services to NHS Professionals, the Special Health Authority which provides high quality flexible staff to NHS organisations.
Under the contract, which will provide over £5 million guaranteed cost savings over the life of the contract, NHS Shared Business Services will deliver payroll processing and F&A services to NHS Professionals' 58,000 flexible workers, customers and suppliers. The service will be delivered from Tingley, Leeds where both NHS Shared Business Services and NHS Professionals' National Finance Centre are located, Southampton and from the integrated delivery centre in Pune, India.
NHS Shared Business Services is the Department of Health's preferred provider for corporate shared services and this contract will integrate the NHS' largest single payroll operation with NHS Shared Business Services' existing NHS payroll service. Outsourcing the F&A and payroll services will enable NHS Professionals to reduce its backoffice costs and take advantage of enhanced F&A functionality. It will also provide NHS Professionals with greater flexibility for future business growth.
Commenting on the announcement Andy Leary, Director of Finance, NHS Professionals said:
This contract will help us to move forward with the strategic development of NHS Professionals and it will deliver guaranteed cost savings in excess of £5 million. The service offered by NHS SBS will also provide access to additional functionality that will add to our financial management.
Commenting on the announcement Peter Coates, Deputy Director of Finance, Department of Health, said:
"This contract brings together two key members of the NHS family to realise cost savings and allow more doctors, nurses and clinical staff to concentrate on patient care."
Commenting on the announcement Alistair Cox, Chief Executive, Xansa said:
"We welcome NHS Professionals into the growing family of NHS organisations that are already making financial and business efficiencies. A quarter of all NHS Trusts are now part of NHS SBS and we can see massive opportunities for driving out costs, reducing the administrative burden and opening up a new era of opportunity and change throughout the NHS. This contract represents a step change for NHS Shared Business Services, expanding its payroll offering to make it the largest payroll provider in the NHS. It also further underlines NHS Shared Business Services' position as the leading back-office shared service provider in the UK public sector."
