Historic Health Agreement for Bluegarden

Helse Sør-Øst RHF has entered into a frame agreement with Multidata-Bluegarden on behalf of the National Programme for Staff and Support Officials for a common wages and personel system together with a recruitment system.

Helse Sør-Øst RHF has entered into a frame agreement with Multidata-Bluegarden on behalf of the National Programme for Staff and Support Officials for a common wages and personel system together with a recruitment system. The agreement means that the three regional health companies Helse Sør- Øst, Helse Midt and Helse Nord have chosen Multidata-Bluegarden for the purchase of IT solutions and services within payroll, staffing, recruitment and appointments. The frame agreement has been awarded to Bluegarden in accordance with the Law on public procurement.

The purpose of the national project has been to enter into a frame agreement so as to organise common solutions with the aim of improving control information and thereby achieve a better overview and checking, and also to ensure the satisfactory and efficient planning of resources in the health companies. Another aim is to bring about financial benefits in the form of improved direct cost-effectiveness within the HR area. Throughout the procurement process, one requirement has been to purchase solutions which are user-friendly for staff at all levels of the organisation.

This is what the group manager of Sør-Øst says about the agreement.

- We are proud that they have shown such confidence in us. The frame agreement will widen our impact area with a customer who is demanding and complex, but at the same time innovative and inspiring. The link to Helse-Norge has contributed to promoting the future development of our products and services. The new frame agreement will give the same positive development both for Bluegarden Norge and for the Multidata-Bluegarden Group," says CEO Ole Morten Settevik at Bluegarden.

- In today's pressured capital and labour markets, setting out concrete tasks and areas of responsibility can be a cost-effective and economical solution. We are experts at payroll and HR, and the health companies are dependent on good HR solutions in order to recruit and develop their staff and so ensure the best for patients. We are humble and proud of being chosen for this task, and we're looking forward to developing our collaboration with Helse-Norge further, says Settevik.

Ole Morten Settevik, CEO Bluegarden Norge.
