To prepare for employees returning to the office, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has spent £1m on specially-created software that allows tracking of metrics including inventories of personal protective equipment and staff vaccination status.
The department has signed a £1.01m, three-year contract with IT reseller Softcat, which will deliver software from vendor ServiceNow, which specialises in workplace-management technology.
The deal covers 23,000 licences of the software company’s Workspace Service Delivery product, which incorporates its dedicated Safe Workplace suite of applications. This set of tools includes programs for measuring the readiness of employees and buildings for returning to office-based work.
