Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust will pay iSoft £2.04m to move to a single PAS. It currently uses iSoft at the Northern General Hospital, and McKesson's Totalcare at its Central Campus, which includes the Royal Hallamshire Hospital.
The six year contract includes a payment of £570,000 for licences and implementation, and £1.4m for support and maintenance, iSoft said. The firm will move both sites to the latest version of its PAS and provide new hardware from HP.
Primary care trust NHS Wandsworth will pay £965,000 to iSoft for the latest version of its PAS at Queen Mary's Hospital in Roehampton, which provides services including outpatient facilities, a minor injuries unit and wards for the elderly and intermediate care. It will pay £182,000 for licensing and £580,000 for support over three years.
The announcements have come as the Department of Health holds a market awareness event for alternative suppliers to trusts in the south of England, which have been without a local service provider since Fujitsu's departure from the National Programme for IT last year. iSoft said in October that it plans to sell directly to trusts in the region.
The event, held in London on 24 November 2009, allows suppliers accredited to the Additional Supply Capability and Capacity (ASCC) scheme to exhibit to trusts in the South West, South Central and South East Coast strategic health authority areas, in advance of a series of procurements starting in January.
"The market awareness event open to all ASCC suppliers in the acute, community and child health service categories demonstrates that we plan to move ahead with ASCC framework procurements in the south," said a spokesperson for the department.
