Procurement

Effective procurement plays a key role in delivering high-quality services, secure value for money, and maximise benefits for our patients, colleagues and partners.

It can also help our partners meet their wider objectives of supporting businesses, helping the regeneration of the local economy, reducing administrative costs and minimising their overall impact on the environment.

We aim to continually improve procurement processes and work with the supply chain to minimise the costs of buying and ensure that contacts provide value for money, and deliver a fair deal for suppliers.

The Procurement department has the following main responsibilities:

  • Providing a professional procurement and supplies service to Airedale NHS Foundation Trust, AGH Solutions Ltd, Bradford District Care NHS Foundation Trust and ILS LLP
  • Tendering and managing of NHS contracts, and high value complex contracts.
  • Working collaboratively with other NHS organisations
  • Supporting small to medium sized enterprises
  • Publication of notices required under The Public Contracts Regulations 2015
  • Ensuring compliance with all NHS and National Legislation
