The Procurement Department is responsible for ensuring that non-pay expenditure is spent wisely, achieves best value, contributes to improved patient care, and is spent in accordance with public sector rules and regulations. Alongside this, they provide a full goods top-up service to wards and departments, manage PPE stocks, maintain the NCA’s eProcurement system and offer related training and support to staff.
The Procurement Department is split across three teams:
- Strategic Sourcing
- Logistics
- Purchase to Pay
The department has an annual savings target of £4.75 million. They were one of the first NHS Procurement Departments in the country to achieve the Level 2 NHS Procurement Standards, as set by the Department of Health, and in 2021 won Team of the Year at the highly prestigious Health Care Supply Association (HCSA) Awards. In 2023 Procurement were awarded "Best" by the Commercial Continuous Improvement Assessment Framework (CCIAF).
