2018 is a red-letter year for procurement in the NHS, with the introduction of a new and greatly expanded supply chain contract and Lord Carter’s ideas becoming policy – the so-called ‘Future Operating Model’. Additionally, significant structural changes are affecting purchasing in the NHS.
STPs and ACSs, new procurement towers and aggregate purchasing will all affect your territories, points of sale and sale opportunities. Alongside these changes, new cost-control measures brought about by greater price transparency and a system-wide efficiency drive make the procurement landscape ever more challenging to negotiate.
This one-day event explores what is happening in NHS procurement and what you need to do to about it now to understand and take advantage of the new procurement market.
Benefits of attending:
- Access intelligence on how NHS procurement will transform once the Future Operating Model goes live so your business is full prepared
- Gain insight from NHS leaders on the policy initiatives such as the Carter Review and GIRFT that are changing the way the NHS does business
- Interact with procurement experts from the NHS and business world to make sure your specific questions are answered
- Acquire a comprehensive overview on the changing NHS procurement landscape by investing just one day out of the office
