The Challenge

Skip the server maintenance.

Building an internal automation team requires significant investment in expensive software licences, server infrastructure, and specialised developers to monitor the bots around the clock. As an NHS-hosted service, we act as a secure, internal extension of your IT department.

We build the automations to run on your local systems and host the orchestration and management layers securely on our Azure infrastructure. Our service desk handles over 300 tickets annually across managed service clients, and delivery is governed against agreed service level agreements and key performance indicators. You get reliable, scalable productivity without the operational burden.

As an NHS Foundation Trust-hosted service, we hold the same data governance obligations as your own team. Your patient data and operational systems remain within the NHS boundary throughout.

300+ service desk tickets handled annually across managed service clients
21 whole-time equivalents of capacity released annually across North London Partners Shared Services
£450k in annual savings delivered across North London Partners Shared Services’ seven-trust partnership

Managed Automation Services

A fully managed digital workforce for North London Partners Shared Services

North London Partners Shared Services, a partnership of seven NHS trusts, was managing high-volume, repetitive recruitment, employment and medical workforce processes by hand, increasingly difficult to sustain as demand grew. We worked with NLPSS to design, build and scale a managed automation service, embedded directly within their live workforce operations and running on their own existing infrastructure.

Rather than NLPSS building and maintaining its own automation capability, we handle orchestration, maintenance and governance entirely. The service has scaled to 147 live automations across three services, with five new automations added in 2024/25, backed by service desk support, Change Advisory Board governance and monthly performance reporting.

21 whole-time equivalents of capacity released annually
£450,000 in annual savings
147 live automations across three services
49.5% reduction in system exceptions
