A ONE-DAY CONFERENCE FOR CURRENT AND POTENTIAL NHS SUPPLIERS ON |
The NHS requires an extensive range of goods and services to enable it to provide effective health care to patients. Consider the vast array of supplies that are needed to operate a hospital – from catering to clinical equipment, from needles and syringes to electricity and fuel, and from bed linen to ambulances.
The NHS currently spends an estimated £17 billion a year on goods and services.
Procurement Capability Review
In November 2008 the Office of Government Commerce issued its Procurement Capability Review of the Department of Health and the NHS. This included the DH’s response and action plan. Changes to NHS procurement practices and procedures will begin to be implemented during 2009.
This conference will provide both current and potential suppliers to the NHS with a unique insight into the latest developments and initiatives within NHS procurement and how these changes present an opportunity for you to grow your business.
