NEC Software Solutions UK is a provider of specialist software and outsourcing services for the public sector and is based in the United Kingdom. The company traded as Northgate Public Services until it rebranded in July 2021[1][2]. This followed its acquisition by NEC Corporation in January 2018.[3]

The company operates in four main sectors: government, health, housing and public safety.

History[edit]

The company changed its name to NEC Software Solutions UK on July 1, 2021.[4][5]

Tina Whitley was appointed as CEO on April 1, 2021.

The company acquired Charter Systems, which provides software supporting covert police operations, on January 4, 2021.[6]

The company acquired APD Communications, a software supplier to the emergency services, public safety and control room markets in January 2019 and the specialist and care division EMIS Health in April 2019.

The company acquired service design agency Snook in June 2019[7] and criminal justice software provider i2N in August 2018.[8]

In January 2018, the company was acquired by NEC from the private equity firm Cinven.[9]

Cinven acquired Northgate Public Services in December 2014.

Operations[edit]

NEC Software Solutions UK operates in four business ‘verticals’ - Government, Healthcare, Housing and Public Safety. Offshore software development is provided by a Mumbai-based subsidiary which also specialises in software used in scientific publishing.

Government

The company provides software and related services to the four UK governments. It also works with [90%] of UK local authorities, providing specialist applications and services to support the management of revenues and benefits, housing, environment and planning functions.

Healthcare

The healthcare division specialises in medical registries and health screening. The company’s software has been used to screen millions of babies for hearing loss and other inherited conditions. It also supports national and local diabetic eye screening programmes. The company’s work in registries includes supporting the National Joint Registry as well as registries for robotic surgery and spinal treatments. The company announced a new partnership with the Walton Centre NHS Foundation Trust.

Housing

The company’s housing management solution is used to manage millions of homes worldwide. It works with local authorities and registered providers in the UK and also supports customers in Canada and Australia. In May 2020, the solution was selected by Colchester Borough Homes.[10]

Public Safety

This division covers the company’s work in policing, emergency services, prisons, probation and critical infrastructure. Products include the CONNECT police platform as well as software supporting offender management, youth justice and major control rooms. In March 2020, subsidiary company APD Communications secured a contract to support the UK Home Office Emergency Services Network.[11] In 2019, NEC Corporation also transferred global sales responsibility for its facial recognition product NeoFace Watch to this division.
