Procurement consultancy / healthcare supply chain consultancy
The rising operational cost of providing healthcare aligned with tightening budgets over the next few years will demand greater efficiency and savings. Procurement in healthcare and the management of the supply chain has often been overlooked, but has the potential to deliver very significant savings and improvements in the quality of care provided to clinical and support functions within a trust. This imperative combined with the e-procurement and e-marketplace revolution is changing the face of hospital procurement.
Our procurement consultancy team has extensive experience of delivering complex technology enabled healthcare procurement “on-time, too budget and delivering greater than expected savings”. We help NHS trusts to:
- analyse spend, to deliver a commodity based approach to procurement
- introduce paperless "Procurement to Payment" (P2P) processes
- improve budget control of authorisers
- implement e-marketplace tools to control and focus spend
Additionally our healthcare supply chain consultancy approach utilises a range of modelling tools that will optimise inventory holdings of stock and non-stock items to provide the highest service at lowest cost and minimise the waste caused from obsolescence, write-offs and couriered delivery.
