Systems that drive procurement and contract management activity to timescale, improving performance and reducing costs.

Since its introduction, OPTIMiSe has enabled the Trust to generate significant savings. The savings have been carefully measured and have grown year on year until they now represent annualised savings in excess of £1m per annum

Systems and services that enable NHS Trusts to optimise Business Cases and plan asset replacements at minimum cost.

Leaseguard were heavily involved in modelling many iterations of the funding plan for equipping the new hospital - and their input, expertise and imagination were key factors in the success of this project.

Systems and services designed to enable Trusts to exert real control over their asset base and asset-related processes

Procurement solutions that deliver savings against established benchmarks across a range of procurements, from beds replacement to energy procurement.

Leaseguard approached this beds project with a different perspective, and showed us how we could save over £150k in maintenance costs alone. As well as delivering savings, our contracts are now better suited to meet our clinical needs

John Yarnold, Director of Finance
Plymouth Hospitals NHS Trust

Our objective is simple. To deliver solutions that help NHS Trusts drive down costs and enhance visibility and control over asset related spend. Our strategy to achieve this is equally straightforward. We recruit the very best commercial talent we can find. We train them to deliver the highest possible level of service. And we support their work by developing the very best systems available in this sector.

OPTIMiSe-Assets

Generating savings, control and compliance by exerting control over assets

Almost every Trust we speak to accepts that the management of their assets is far from perfect. And with increasing regulation and guidelines on asset management (particularly of medical devices), they recognise that this is an area where improvements must be made.

From our research, the key areas in which Trusts wish to enhance their management of assets are:
  • better control of risk
  • enhanced control of costs
  • improved management of asset-related processes
  • real control over asset-based contracts
  • the ability to manage and log PPM and supplier service calls
  • more accurate inventories
  • and better replacement planning
Based on our existing OPTIMiSe systems, OPTIMiSe-Assets enables Trusts to achieve these objectives.

In addition to providing a core inventory solution (with interfaces to all specialist asset systems, such as EBME, Facilities and Finance's Fixed Asset systems), OPTIMiSe-Assets enables Trusts to link assets directly to contracts, service records, people and processes to exert real control and meet compliance requirements.
