Key actions and good practice for framework suppliers
We’ve put together a simple checklist of key actions and good practice to support suppliers when working with the Alliance and NHS organisations:
Requirements checklist
- Engage with us – Be proactive and responsive. If you have a question, an idea or are unsure about anything, get in touch. We’re here to help.
- Keep your details up to date – Make sure that we have your up-to-date contact details so NHS organisations have accurate information to engage directly with suppliers.
- Understand your framework – Take time to familiarise yourself with the terms and requirements of your framework(s).
- Meet your framework compliance requirements – Ensure your framework deliverables comply with all applicable legislative and regulatory requirements.
- Keep your MI reporting up to date – Providing accurate and timely MI is a key contractual requirement. It also supports our data analytics and helps demonstrate the important contribution our suppliers make to NHS services.
- Follow agreed trust processes – Respect and follow each trust’s processes for bookings, approvals and sign-off. Working through the correct channels helps avoid issues or delays with payments.
If you have any specific questions, please reach out to your usual Alliance contact or get in touch using the contact form on our website.
