The role of Procurement Services is to provide a sourcing, supply chain, purchasing and accounts payable service to health boards and NHS trusts across Wales, while supporting the Welsh Government in the deployment of its procurement strategy and providing procurement expertise in specialist project areas. Teams across Wales also provide capital equipping services to the NHS. The sourcing work currently undertaken ranges from pharmaceuticals to food, through to utilities and medical consumables, while activities for the Welsh Government include supporting mental health services, and other programmes for Government activities.
In addition to the operational activities of the teams, Procurement Services also delivers significant cost savings for health boards and NHS trusts, while continuing to review its own operating processes and procedures to ensure that the service provided to its customers is both efficient and cost-effective.
