RIVIAM is now a supplier on G-Cloud 15, our 8th consecutive G-Cloud award

Being named as a supplier on G-Cloud once is important. 

Doing so consistently across multiple frameworks says something more about the ability to keep meeting the requirements expected of public-sector technology suppliers.

RIVIAM Digital Care has been named as a supplier on the G-Cloud 15 (RM1557.15) framework from Government Commercial Agency (GCA), under Lot 2b: Software as a Service (SaaS).

This marks our 8th consecutive G-Cloud appointment, following RIVIAM’s inclusion on G-Cloud 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14.

For RIVIAM, that continued presence matters because it gives NHS organisations, Local Authorities and other public-sector bodies an established route to access our secure care co-ordination technology as they improve services, pathways and the way organisations work together. 

Why G-Cloud 15 is significant

The Government Commercial Agency’s G-Cloud framework has supported public-sector organisations to procure cloud services since 2012. 

GCA describes G-Cloud 15 as its most significant upgrade since its introduction, including G-Cloud 15’s most comprehensive supplier evaluation to date, with suppliers assessed across quality, technical capability and price.

This is intended to give public-sector buyers greater assurance when choosing cloud services through the framework.

For RIVIAM, being named as a supplier on G-Cloud 15 following this enhanced assessment adds further weight to our long-standing track record as a public-sector technology supplier.

What G-Cloud 15 means for public-sector organisations

Procurement is only one part of digital transformation, but having an established route to access the right digital services can make it easier for organisations to move forward.

For organisations already familiar with G-Cloud, this provides continuity from G-Cloud 14 to G-Cloud 15. For other service, digital and transformation leads, it provides a recognised route to access RIVIAM’s cloud services.

Through G-Cloud 15, health and social care organisations can access RIVIAM technology so they can:

• improve access, capacity and flow for more efficient, joined up, personalised care meeting the objectives of the NHS 10 year Health Plan for England  
• connect referrals and care pathways
• enable provider teams and organisations to work together more effectively with greater speed and less duplication
• improve how information moves between existing systems. 

These are central to RIVIAM’s wider approach to health and social care: connecting health and social care so people can receive the right care, at the right time, using the right information. 

Working with the systems organisations already use

Improving how health and social care services work together does not always mean replacing existing systems.

RIVIAM’s secure care co-ordination platform and services integrate with existing NHS and Local Authority systems so information can flow and health and care organisations can work together more effectively.

That becomes particularly important when a person’s care involves different teams, services or organisations. RIVIAM can provide the digital layer that connects referrals, information and workflows across organisational boundaries, while allowing partners to continue using the systems they already rely on.

For multi-agency teams, this can support a more co-ordinated way of working, helping NHS, social care and voluntary, community and social enterprise services work together rather than in isolation. 

RIVIAM services available through G-Cloud 15

RIVIAM has a range of care co-ordination platform and services available through G-Cloud 15 under Lot 2b: Software as a Service (SaaS).

These support areas including referral and pathway management, patient engagement and multi-agency care co-ordination.

Supporting more connected health and care

Our continued presence on G-Cloud matters because of what it enables us to support – key planks of the current NHS long term plan: shifting care closer to home with Integrated Neighbourhood teams; provider teams using digital services to aid transformation and cost savings; and focusing on prevention.
