NHS Shared Business Services (NHS SBS), NHS London Procurement Partnership (NHS LPP) and North of England Commercial Procurement Collaborative (NOE CPC) recognise the significant role they play in providing the NHS with innovative, compliant, value based commercial frameworks agreements. It is also acknowledged that to provide customers with the optimal experience, our organisations should collaborate, where it is appropriate, to avoid unnecessary duplication and to signpost customers accordingly. This is something that has been evidenced through the Tech Devices – Link 4 Framework Agreement that NHS SBS and NOE CPC have successfully delivered in partnership over the last 14 years. As an initial exercise we have identified a number of sub category areas that enhance the existing offers of our respective organisations and we will be communicating the benefits of these specific agreements, to our customers, as a result. We will continue to look for areas where collaboration will benefit the NHS, whilst maintaining our individual autonomy and identity.
