As a minimum, all NHS organisations are required to publish details of contracts that they have awarded, who the contract has been awarded to and its value to ensure public accountability and transparency.
Our Contrakta platform aims to provide an end-to-end solution to support a standard approach to contract management and system planning. Contrakta will support customers to comply with national requirements whilst helping their teams to work smarter and more efficiently.
Where other systems are ridged in their approach to change, the NECS Contrakta platform aims to support customers with their workflow and processes by giving customers autonomy to align the system to their ways of working.
