- To maintain security, we require Smartcards with correct roles and activities. For connectivity, we require HSCN access at all operational locations. To enable authentication, we require NHS Identity Agent V2.4.10.0+ with required registry settings. To assure readiness, we require local Acceptance Testing before go‑live. To preserve integrity, customers install critical maintenance promptly. To operate safely, we schedule planned maintenance outside core hours. To enable interoperability, we depend on PDS, SCR, GP Connect, DoS and MIG. To support performance, UK usage is required due to HSCN reliance. To ensure consistency, desktop prerequisites must be installed and supported.

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 ensure the customer deploys the CLEO IUC MSI package to approved devices and confirm HSCN connectivity and Smartcard access where required, setting 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. Users conduct User Acceptance Testing in live or test environments with test patients. Following this, we require users to complete the DBC0129
We conclude onboarding once the user approves UAT, completes governance checks, including DCB0129 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

We can structure exports to suit local reporting models and downstream warehouses. We agree timelines in advance to allow user teams to plan downstream work and operational changes.
- End-of-contract process
- We begin closure with a review meeting to confirm deliverables and lessons learned, providing configuration outputs, test records and training assets as required. We conduct knowledge transfer sessions to support self-sufficiency. We delete all supplier-side data within 3 months of contract end, providing a certificate of deletion to users to confirm completion. Advisory support can continue under a separate quote if required. To avoid surprises, we coordinate dates and responsibilities against the contractual notice period.

Availability and resilience
- Guaranteed availability
- To guarantee 99.9% service availability, we have designed CLEO IUC 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 IUC’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 IUC 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.
- 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.
