The NHS Purchasing and Supply Agency (NHS PASA) has won a Government computing award for excellence in public sector information technology.

NHS PASA collected the Shared Services Award for its car leasing portal, providing live pricing information straight from the supplier to the user with the click of a button.

Potential savings over three years are estimated at nearly £20 million across the public sector.

“This is recognition of the Car Lease Portal as an innovative solution for ‘real time’ lease rentals tailored to organisational requirements, providing best value for the public sector,” said Janette Cowburn, fleet category manager at NHS PASA.
