National Procurement
Commenced activities in Scotland in 2005 following
recommendations made by the McClelland review
of public sector procurement.
Purchasing activities across the NHSS historically had
been managed:– In a sporadic manner
– Limited coordination across NHS Scotland
– Little aggregation of spend across NHS Scotland and more than 23
procurement organisations
Workstream Activity Redesign
Strategic Sourcing
Logistics
eP&S
Maximise the potential savings by NHS Scotland by sharing
the benefits of collaborative buying power. These are
realised by the application of best practice strategic sourcing
processes and working with suppliers to obtain best value
products and services.
Simplify the physical supply chain using managed
distribution systems to achieve economies of scale delivered
from the National Distribution Centre. (Non
Pharmaceuticals)
Coordinate the deployment of world class procurement
technology across Health Boards. This offers users access
to a variety of tools that support strategic and
transactional procurement and enable new methods of
collaboration.

National Contracting Challenges
•
•
•
•
•
What’s in it
for me?
Resistance to and fear of change
Lack of awareness of procurement regulations
Lack of understanding of market dynamics
Industry Resistance
Lack of clinical resource to implement change
I don’t have
authority
It’s too
complicated
They
won’t
fund it
It’s too
political
They really
don’t want to
change
It’s too
ambitious
We’ve always
done it this way!
We’ve never
done that
before
No one
asked
me
It’s
impossible
We don’t
have the
staff
There’s not
enough time
It will
take to
long!
It’s not
my job!!
We can’t
take the
chance
We are
doing ok
as it is!!
It needs
more
thought
We tried that
before
I’m all for it,
but…
It’s not our
problem!!
It won’t
work in this
department

•
Communication (Stakeholders and Industry)
Planning
Change for sake of change
Well developed specifications
Anticipate outcomes
Shared resource (Reduced representation at
Clinical Level but endorsed nationally via
peer groups)
Thankfully
there are not
too many of
these !!
