Get the best from your workforce suppliers to drive improved productivity and efficiency
Working effectively and collaboratively with suppliers is fundamental to the success of any supply chain. Our regional teams have extensive market knowledge and contacts within our entire supplier base – managed through our Supplier Relationship Management programme.
As part of the NHS, we provide our NHS colleagues with supplier relationship management advice at no cost. Whether engaging with large multi-divisional companies, SMEs or specialist suppliers, our regional teams can help with:
- Local supply: select the suppliers with a proven track record in your area
- Specialist supply: meet specialist requirements through our development of small, local and specialist suppliers
- Improved commercial agreements: develop and monitor agreements with your supply base to improve efficiency
- Issue resolution: support with any complex issues
- Compliancy with NHS Employers Check Standards: our Health Assurance Audit process ensures workers provided by our framework suppliers are compliant
- Cost avoidance: support with any unexpected costs from suppliers
“It is the expertise that the Alliance has provided us which has resulted in us improving our own knowledge on insourcing contracts, and consequently improving our processes and governance when assessing the award of an insourcing contract.”
– James Anderson, Head of Clinical Procurement, NNUH NHS Foundation Trust
