Onboarding and offboarding
- Getting started
-
We provide the following onboarding process to customers upon contract start:
1. Kick-off and scoping: To establish shared expectations, we meet our customer’s project and governance teams to confirm scope, timelines and success criteria
2. Quote: We produce a quote outlining deliverables, dependencies, risks and commercial teams
3. Access and environment set up: We configure the VWR environment in the private cloud and ensure HSCN connectivity and Smartcard access where required and set up key service features
4. Resource allocation and scheduling: We assign delivery roles, agree schedules and document milestones
5. Discovery and requirements confirmation: We run technical and clinical workshops to validate requirements and align processes
6. Training and User Acceptance Training preparation: We deliver Train-the-Trainer sessions and provide user guides and videos. We support User Acceptance Training focused on queue management, clinician workflows and IVR confirmation. We also require the customer to complete DCB1060 clinical safety assessment prior to go-live
We conclude onboarding once the user approves UAT, completes governance checks, including DCB01060 and confirms readiness for deployment and go-live. To ensure safe transition, CLEO Systems provides onsite or remote support during go-live, followed by a 2-week hyper care period before transition to BAU. - Service documentation
- Yes
- Documentation formats
- End-of-contract data extraction
- To ensure knowledge transfer, we will create handover documentation if that is deemed required by the customer. We will transfer data through Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) in CSV format at the date agreed in conjunction with your contractual notice period. We will delete this data after the SFTP file has been submitted, at an agreed date no longer than 3 months after contract expiry, including a certificate of completion.
- End-of-contract process
-
To prepare users for a secure, transparent exit, we deliver a controlled offboarding process. This returns all buyer data, removes access and allows services to end without disruption. Providing expert oversight of this process will be our Project Management Team.
1. Project closure review: Confirming completion, we meet with the user to review deliverables, capture lessons learned, assess performance metrics and gather feedback
2. Documentation and handover: Supporting continuity, we provide final configuration outputs, test records, training assets and any required technical documentation
3. Knowledge transfer: For user self-sufficiency, we deliver targeted handover sessions with their teams to explain operational workflows, outstanding actions and confirm their competency
4. Access revocation and data return: Protecting confidentiality, in line with our Cyber Essentials Plus certification and NHS DSPT compliance, we remove all CLEO Systems access and return data through secure SFTP in agreed CSV formats. Supporting governance, we delete retained data within 3 months and issue a certificate of deletion
5. Post-engagement support: Maintaining service continuity, we offer advisory or optimisation through additional SOWs where requested
Additional bespoke services (extended support, transformation, or non-standard formats) may incur extra cost. - Documentation accessibility standard

Availability and resilience
- Guaranteed availability
- To guarantee 99.9% service availability, we have designed CLEO VWR to remain available, resilient and stable at all times. To achieve this, we use controlled hosting, continuous monitoring and structured recovery processes that protect buyers from disruption. Assuming responsibility for overseeing CLEO VWR’s guaranteed availability will be the CLEO Service Desk Manager. In the unlikely event that this level of service is not met, then any refunds accrued would be as defined in the individual contracts that we agree with our customers.
- Approach to resilience
-
To maintain our commitment of 99.9% service availability, we monitor all environments 24/7, receive automatic alerts for anomalies through our infrastructure and application monitoring tools and respond to incidents using defined escalation pathways. To prevent outages, we operate CLEO VWR within UK-based private-cloud infrastructure that uses load-balanced servers, isolated resources and secure replication. Protecting performance, we scale resources proactively and separate customer workloads to avoid cross-tenant impact. To guarantee continuity, we back up all data daily to immutable vault storage and replicate these backups to a segregated cloud environment by Arcserve. For rapid restoration in the unlikely event of disaster scenarios, we follow annually tested disaster-recovery procedures aligned with NHS DSPT and internal Business Continuity Plan controls. Our DR objectives are as follows:
• RPO 24 hours
• RTO ~2 hours. - Outage reporting
-
In the event of a service down incident, we triage all incidents immediately and escalate critical issues to senior engineers using our ITIL-aligned process. To protect users during high-security events, we communicate updates immediately through email alerts and a service-status webpage. For transparency, when an outage occurs, we notify all nominated user contacts to provide clear information on:
• Services affected
• Severity
• Issue description
• Actions taken
• Next status update
In the unlikely event of a major incident, we follow up with a full report to users within the agreed contractual timeframe.
Supporting consistent service quality, we analyse incident outcomes and integrate improvements into future releases.

Furthering this, we update documented risk registers during service reviews, with regular vulnerability scanning and annual penetration testing conducted by CREST-approved providers.
For continuous improvement, we review performance, security and clinical-safety data through structured processes such as:
• Quarterly service reviews to assess performance trends, SLA adherence and customer feedback
• Quarterly internal audits to verify compliance with DSPT, Cyber Essentials Plus and internal security controls
• Annual external audits to validate DSPT and penetration-testing outcomes
• Root-cause analysis following significant incidents to prevent recurrence and strengthen resilience
• Release management reviews ensure new features maintain clinical safety and operational stability
