Introduction to the Trust's Procurement Department
Procurement aims to provide value for money on goods and services bought. The
term ‘value for money’ doesn’t necessarily mean the cheapest but a balance
between cost in use, quality and performance.
We continuously seek to improve the procurement process in order to obtain best
value from the contracts we enter into and to minimise the administration costs
of buying. We offer guidance, advice and support on all aspects of procurement
to all of the trust's wards and departments.
The Procurement Department ensures that all procurement complies with the
trust’s rules and national and European Law. We control and monitor all major
contracts for the procurement of goods and services.
Any Sales Reps already engaged with the trust but who may wish to discuss new
business or New Suppliers who may wish to engage in business with the trust
should contact the ‘Strategic Procurement Team’ in the first instance. Reps
should not contact Clinicians and/or departments directly. Circumnavigating the
trusts policies in this respect is not seen favourably.
