Challenge

The NHS insists that for large outsourced contracts its suppliers meet ISO/IEC20000, the international standard for IT Service Management.

Solution

ISO/IEC20000 sets the requirements against which organisations are assessed for the effectiveness of their service management processes and performance.

Value

The standard provides an integrated framework for delivering and managing IT services by defining and benchmarking service excellence.

Background

The NHS N3 national broadband network has achieved ISO/IEC20000 best practice accreditation, one of the networked IT services industry’s top accolades. Part of the £12.7 billion NHS National Programme for Information Technology (NPfIT) – the largest civilian IT programme in Europe – N3 is the high-speed broadband backbone network linking the entire NHS in England, and additional sites in Scotland. It currently provides in excess of 30,000 connections serving 1.3 million employees through 63 points of presence across England and Scotland.
