Commercial Procurement Collaborative - NHS Procurement in Partnership (PiP) Hubs

Descriptions

NHS PiP is a collaboration of the national procurement Hubs which enables NHS PiP to utilise the collective expertise of each organisation, to facilitate aggregation, avoid unnecessary duplication and influence the procurement landscape to best effect for the NHS. The NHS PiP Hubs will work in collaboration with the NHSEI PTOM team to engage with the ICS Procurement teams, with the aim to help them monitor and track their progress against a set of 34 activities. The PiP Hubs will also support NHSEI to collate the data required to create this national picture. In addition, the Hubs will leverage their local relationships to nuance the implementation advice based on the local context whilst cascading the principles defined in the published guidance. This contract covers PMO Support for the value of £61,625 (excluding VAT) to LPP (via its legal entity Guys and St Thomas Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust).
