Opportunity overview

NHS Supply Chain manage the sourcing, delivery and supply of healthcare products, services and food for NHS trusts and healthcare organisations across England and Wales. In 2018, SCCL (the management function of the NHS Supply Chain) entered contracts with 11 Category Management Service Providers (CMSPs) to provide goods and services to NHS trusts and healthcare organisations across England and Wales. Goods are delivered through two enabling services which underpin the CMSP model, these enabling services are Logistics and Fulfilment, and Supporting Technology. NHS Supply Chain currently manages more than 8 million orders per year, across 94,000 order points and 17,465 locations and delivers over 28 million lines of picked goods to the NHS annually. Its systems consolidate orders from over 930 suppliers, saving trusts time and money by removing duplication of overlapping contracts. As part of the future Operating Model of the NHS Supply Chain, the Authority is seeking to award a contract for the provision of a Logistics Service Provider. The Authority intends to enter into contractual arrangements under which it will be entitled to appoint a Logistics Service Provider to operate on behalf of NHS Supply Chain. Under this contractual agreement, the Logistics Service Provider will supply the services that are critical for the delivery of NHS Supply Chain goods procured under the CMSP frameworks which are available to 1) any NHS Trust; 2) any other NHS entity or healthcare provider (including private organisations, primary care, community settings, doctors premises, other clinical facilities and social care); 3) any government department, agency, or other statutory body (including Devolved Authorities, Crown Dependencies and/or Pandemic Planning Programmes), 4) any private sector entity active in the UK healthcare sector on behalf of a public-sector organisation listed in 1) to 4) above and/or 5) any private residence.
