The Scottish Government<\/a> (SG) and NHS National Services Scotland<\/a> (NSS) have today awarded BT<\/a> (EE<\/a>) with a contract worth up to \u00a3350m over the next 6-years, which will see the UK telecoms giant become the sole provider to deliver public sector connectivity across Scotland via the Scottish Wide Area Network (SWAN).<\/p>\n

The move will complement BT<\/a>’s investment in future-proofing its infrastructure and accelerate fibre optic and 5G<\/a> mobile connectivity to some of the most remote parts of Scotland. The contract itself will allow for better communication, data sharing and collaboration across more than 6,000 sites, including 94 public sector organisations (e.g. schools, hospitals, council offices etc.), which can also expect “significantly faster … fibre broadband and mobile connections<\/em>“.<\/p>\n

Some 22 NHS Scotland boards, 278 general and community hospitals and more than 900 GP practices are set to be connected to the network. But as well as bridging the gap between urban and rural areas, benefits for the public are likely to include time saving with patients, for example, being able to be seen remotely by clinicians rather than having to travel long distances across islands.<\/p>\n

Alan Lees, BT<\/a>’s Director for Business (Scotland), said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“BT is committed to playing its part in helping to shape and to deliver transformational public sector services for people across Scotland now and into the future.<\/p>\n

BT is proud to become the sole provider of next generation connectivity services to the Scottish public sector via the SWAN Framework. We strongly believe in the difference that highly resilient and secure connectivity can make to the delivery of public services in Scotland and with our expertise and investment we can accelerate the digital transformation of services to the public.<\/p>\n

This contract will see us deliver a cost effective and innovative communications framework, which will benefit public sector employees, citizens and services in ways that we have not seen before. We have access to the largest next generation networks.<\/p>\n

Our mobile network EE<\/a> was the first to launch 5G<\/a> in Scotland and EE<\/a> now has by far the highest levels of 4G<\/a> coverage across Scotland\u2019s landmass at 75%, which is 8% higher than our nearest competitor. We\u2019re able to help the public sector to do things that they never imagined possible before, supporting our shared ambition of \u2018Connecting Scotland for Good.\u2019”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mary Morgan, CEO of NSS, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“This is a significant milestone for NSS, and for the many partner organisations across the public sector who depend upon SWAN, including NHS Scotland. Swift and secure connectivity is at the heart of modern future-facing public services. Robust digital infrastructure is key to successful innovation and service improvements that will benefit citizens, families and communities.<\/p>\n

We are pleased to have secured this long-term partnership with BT in Scotland. NSS will continue to manage the SWAN Network effectively on behalf of its members so that together we can deliver for all citizens and stakeholders.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sadly, the announcement doesn’t give any indication of the implementation timescale for all this. But you can find out more details about SWAN via the website – https:\/\/www.scottishwan.com<\/a> . So far as we can tell, the deal with BT appears to replace the previous one with Capita<\/strong>, which was first setup some years ago to establish a single shared network and common ICT infrastructure across Scotland\u2019s entire public sector.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
