Western Uusimaa Wellbeing Services County implements the SC Sourcing Suite solution. The customer estimates the total value of the contract period to be about 1.8 million euros.
The responsibility for organizing social- and healthcare and rescue services will be transferred from the municipalities to the wellbeing counties in the beginning of 2023 with the social- and healthcare reformation. Therefore, the procurement operations and the existing delivery contracts are also being transferred to the new wellbeing counties. Western Uusimaa is one of the first counties to tender a sourcing solution.
“The solution contributes to our goals”
“We are satisfied that the solution will be implemented”, comments Antti Pakkanen, project manager for procurement of the Western Uusimaa Wellbeing Services County. “We have many procurement specialists who transferred from the city of Espoo. They already have good experience with the system in question. Leading of procurement and its entire life cycle is central in modern procurement operations. To that extent, the solution contributes to our goals as well.”
SC Sourcing Suite is also seen to support the development of procurement activities and leading with knowledge:
“We expect strong support from the system for the preparation, execution and management of procurement in general”, Pakkanen continues. “The solution is also expected to provide new opportunities for the development of our sourcing processes; in our view, it meets the needs that we have become aware of. Leading with knowledge is central to that. We’ve had good cooperation with SC Software already in the preparation phase, and we expect it to continue in further development of the solution”, Pakkanen concludes.
