The model in Scotland for the acquisition of goods and services in the Public Sector works on a very basic principle – business friendly and socially responsible looking at outcomes rather than outputs… to deliver genuine public value beyond simply cost and/or quality in purchasing.
We work collaboratively with the following groups to deliver collaborative contracts.
East of Scotland Procurement Consortium
– a group of ten NHS Health Boards who contract together to deliver best value.
NHS Procurement Commissioning and Facilities
– The Centre of Expertise contracting for goods and services nationally across NHS Scotland.
