Overview

Choose and manage suppliers

As you move into digital ways of working, you may need to buy software for:

  • care records and planning
  • medication management
  • staff management
  • quality and audit 
  • eLearning and training

Depending on the size and skills of your organisation, you may also need an IT supplier to set up and manage your software and devices. 

This guidance will help you to understand your needs and set up and manage contracts with suppliers.
