ZIVVER, the secure digital comms provider, says its communication platform is now available to NHS trusts via channel partner Barrier Networks. The partner has been chosen as a supplier for the NHSX’s new Clinical Communication Tools Framework, specifically for the provision of ZIVVER’s solution.
NHSX is a joint unit bringing together teams from the Department of Health and Social Care, NHS England and NHS Improvement to drive the digital transformation of care as part of the move to phase out pagers by the end of 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated this requirement, driven by the core objective of making it easier for staff, trusts and commissioners to use products, solutions and software from a range of approved suppliers that best meet their needs.
“We are delighted to have been awarded a contract on the NHSX Clinical Communication Tools Procurement Framework in partnership with Barrier Networks,” said Rick Goud, Founder and CIO, ZIVVER. “Being awarded this contract with the highest possible valuation on the quality of product and service is testament to ZIVVER’s provision of easy to use digital technology, which – having already been adopted by thousands of healthcare organisations across Europe – can now bring safe communications to the NHS. Moreover, partnering with Barrier Networks gives us an understanding of how to deliver into the NHS, based on their strong references in healthcare.”
Iain Slater, Sales Director, Barrier Networks, said, “Partnering with ZIVVER and being awarded this contract on the NHSX Framework demonstrates our ability to offer the NHS a communications tool that is both easy to use and secure. We are committed to working with the NHS to enable their users to benefit from a technology that is not only best in breed, but also supports their clinicians with delivering care whilst meeting their strategic plans.”
