LONDON, December 4 /PRNewswire/ --     Manpower Software plc, a leading provider of workforce optimisation and 
e-rostering solutions, is pleased to announce their selection as one of two 
preferred suppliers by the re:source Procurement Hub. As part of the NHS 
re:source Procurement Hub, twenty one NHS Trusts in the East Midlands region 
will have the option to purchase Manpower Software's sophisticated MAPS 
Healthroster Solution without the need to go through further procurement and 
contract negotiation processes.

Maninder Dulku, Purchasing Manager for HR, NHS re:source
Procurement Hub commented:

"Over a period of nine months we went through an extremely
competitive and rigorous tender process with a total of seventeen e-rostering
suppliers. We choose Manpower Software plc based on the following key
attributes: 'best of breed' solution, experience, reputation and
implementation methodology".

NHS Trusts recognise the complexities in the manual
administration of staff rosters and can see how e-rostering solutions can
efficiently manage staff to be in the right place, at the right time.
Manpower Software's MAPS Healthroster Solution enables manager's to quickly
build their rosters, defining the number of staff required to meet the
required demand, in turn providing improved patient care and significant cost
savings.

Commenting on the announcement, Paul Scandrett, Manpower
Software's Healthcare Sales Director said: "We are delighted to have been
selected by the re:source Procurement Hub in the East Midlands region. We
have gained a strong reputation over the years for our ability to deliver a
world class e-rostering solution that has been deployed in 27 NHS Trusts. We
have already signed a contract and are implementing MAPS Healthroster at
Derby Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, and look forward to working with the
other Trusts in the East Midlands region"
