Brightive was asked to tender for the role of strategic advisor to undertake a review of ICT Service Delivery in a NHS foundation trust. Brightive tendered competitively against several “big firms” winning the contest and then leading the engagement.

The Brightive team developed a tailored stakeholder engagement, best-practice governance & process assessment, and IT Value/Costing metrics across the 5 participating organisations to create a data-driven options appraisal process.
