Expansion Opportunities With ongoing expansion in Brighton and Falmer and plans for a new health hub, there is a clear opportunity to offer end-to-end facility services and digital infrastructure for new sites. This includes clinical equipment provisioning, space planning, patient flow optimization, telemedicine wiring, and the integration of the new podiatry services with existing IT systems. A bundled offering for site setup and ongoing facility management could be attractive to the Trust.

IT Modernization The Trust already uses COBIT governance, VMware vSphere, Spinnaker, Google Drive, and a modern development stack, suggesting readiness for IT modernization and governance services. Opportunities exist to provide cybersecurity hardening, cloud strategy and migration, cross-site data integration, EHR and care coordination platforms, and managed DevOps to support digital care initiatives.

Patient Engagement Serving thousands of patients daily with a focus on preventing hospital admissions, the Trust could benefit from patient engagement platforms, telehealth and remote monitoring, appointment reminders, and digital care plans. A targeted solution for patient portals, secure messaging, and self-management resources could improve outcomes and reduce unnecessary hospital use. Partnerships with academia on digital health literacy programs could also be explored.

Sustainability Focus Recognition in the Health Care Climate Challenge signals openness to sustainable operations, creating opportunities to provide energy management, carbon accounting dashboards, sustainability reporting, and green IT practices. Solutions for energy efficiency in new facilities and the procurement of environmentally friendly equipment could align with NHS sustainability goals.

Workforce Enablement With a large workforce and strong academic ties, there is potential to sell HR and learning tech, rostering and scheduling systems, e-learning platforms, and workforce analytics. A modular, scalable solution could support staff training at scale, reduce administrative burden, and improve employee engagement in a community health setting.
