Collaborative procurement
Significant cost savings can be achieved through collaborative procurement across south London providers, as we aim to:
- Standardise what is purchased and
- Work together to identify opportunities through aligned purchasing power
- Address tactical intervention (eg price alignment), as well as strategic intervention (eg cost, product, supplier rationalisation)
Three clinical workstreams:
- Interventional cardiology
- Cardiac rhythm management
with three crosscutting workstreams:
- Procurement tender
- Practice variation
- Pharmacy
All south London sites are invited to join these projects, with further extension and interest by neighbouring regions.
