Purchasing

 
There are Purchasing Teams located within each Health Board and Trust. They are responsible for receiving requisitions and the placing of orders from predominantly Revenue and Endowment (and limited Capital) funding sources, for goods and services, that are not contained within their individual catalogues.
 
A key role of the Purchasing Teams are to reduce the number of non-catalogue requests being processed, by proactive demand management which involves analysing historical and future demand through to influencing cost and reducing expenditure for their customers. Purchasing Teams engage daily with their customers and end users to ensure that goods and services are delivered in accordance to expectations and requirements, and deal with any issues that emerge.
