To provide some idea of the scale and complexity of the integrated ERP solution, the current systems are used by over 450 separate organisations (which includes all elements of the NHS in England, e.g. all arm's length bodies, trusts, foundations trusts, integrated care systems etc.) and over 1.7 million employees. The potential functionalities required are recruitment, HR, payroll, learning, talent management, finance, procurement, planning and budgeting.

Please submit your questions to Jacqueline Powell by noon 15th October 2020. We will anonymise questions so please give careful consideration to how these are worded.
