The Trust will support project management for the migration of the new platform. Implementation programme must be completed before 1.4.2022. The new application will be a pan service replacement required at approximately 20 premises across Kent and North East London together with mobile services and directly impact some 200 staff. It is envisaged that the quantity and locations and staff numbers will vary over the next 12 months to five years. The platform is required Monday to Friday 0700Hrs to 1800Hrs with the ability to support extended hour and day sessions in accordance with commissioned service provision.

A "yes" will result in a "pass", and "No" will result in a "Fail". Please do not proceed to express your interest in this opportunity if you have any fail results. This is a pre-assessment and KCHFT will not require you to provide the results at this EOI stage, but will form part of your submission/evidence should you be invited to tender - all responses must be a pass.
