NHS Shared Business Services has been named outsourcing service provider of the year at the National Outsourcing Association (NOA) Awards. The joint venture between Xansa and the Department of Health was chosen for its cost and time efficiency - as well as its impact on improving clinical care.

The award was open to vendors, service providers and software consultants which have made a significant contribution to their clients and the outsourcing industry. The NOA chose NHS SBS for its exemplary public-sector outsourcing model, which is regarded as a successful template for redirecting resources to frontline services - as required in the Gershon Review.
