Tech Mahindra chosen by Circle Health as a new technology Partner for next 10 years
Circle Health signed deal worth £50 million with Tech Mahindra as a technology partner for the next 10 years after a competitive procurement process.
As per the deal Circle will provide access to its hospitals, clinicians and experience of running healthcare, allowing Tech Mahindra to develop and adopt new technologies that improve patient care, operational delivery and to reduce costs for all parties. Tech Mahindra will develop new IT solutions for Circle’s hospitals and NHS management contracts – giving its facilities access to state-of-the-art technologies that it has deployed in other sectors such as the telecoms sector, supporting the adoption of mobile healthcare solutions.
Steve Melton, Chief Executive of Circle, said: “Healthcare has yet to see the tech-led disruption that we’ve seen in other sectors, but we think that is about to change. At the same time, there is a big push in UK government policy for transparency and better patient access to data – while the need for healthcare operators to be efficient has never been higher.” He also added, “Tech Mahindra is a hugely respected firm with a track record of innovation. Its technology has made organizations across a vast range of sectors more connected, agile and efficient. We’re absolutely delighted our partnership with Tech Mahindra will support us to grow our business and improve our competitiveness through the adoption of new technologies.”
Rajib Bhattacharya, Vice President, Tech Mahindra said “We are delighted to partner with Circle who have a proven track record of innovation in healthcare delivery. Our plans are to focus on creating and adopting new technologies from around the world into the UK healthcare market which is facing unprecedented pressures on its finances and we felt that Circle were the best partner to work with. We will support them in improving their current infrastructure and co- creating new applications that will allow for patients to take more control of their healthcare.”
