Dorset Software today announced that it has been awarded a 3 year contract extension by the NHS Litigation Authority.

The NHSLA originally awarded Dorset Software a contract worth approximately £1.4 million to develop a bespoke Claims Management System, an intranet, an extranet, a public website and 3 year's support of the solution.

Using a range of leading technologies, Dorset Software, developed a flexible, organic solution which met initial requirements and which is proving to meet changing needs. Tom Fothergill, Director of Finance at the NHS Litigation Authority summarises the project, "The solution was delivered on time, to budget, met our requirements and has delivered benefits that we didn't even realise we needed."  He adds his thoughts on Dorset Software, "We are more than happy with the service and support we have received from Dorset Software. They understand client liaison and have worked in partnership with us to deliver a solution which exceeds expectations."

The 3 year extension to the original contract, includes all support and maintenance of the Claims Management System through to April 2010 and is worth somewhere in the region of £500,000.

Jonathan Gerson, Dorset Software's Managing Director comments, "We are proving time and again that we can deliver custom solutions to clients on time, to budget and exceeding expectations. We are very pleased with the new contract from the NHSLA. It demonstrates how we value our clients and work with them to develop long-standing partnerships."
