Dear FOI Team,

Thank you for your quick response.

Please see your response below regarding E-Rostering. It appears that the contract for this has expired, however you have written that your contract is not annually renewed but you have no plans to replace the system.

Can I please ask for some clarification on this. Does this mean you have renewed your contract and have a new expiry date? or have a new system in place? If so can I please have the details and expiry date.

System type – E-Rostering (staffing)
Supplier name – Allocate
System name – Healthmedic
Date installed – 05/2019
Contract expiration – 04/2022
Is this contract annually renewed? - No
Do you currently have plans to replace this system? - No

Yours sincerely,
