We provide specialist support for all capital equipment sourcing, offering a fully managed service that includes major medical equipment, digital and IT, and hospital furniture.
Our flexible service options include:
- Full project management
- ‘Make do vs Buy’ option appraisal of current equipment
- Support and options appraisal for the equipment elements of Financial Business Cases to assist robust planning and budgeting
- Design stage engagement and review of architectural building data for equipment, as required
- Procurement Regulation compliant sourcing and purchasing of equipment
- Planning and coordination of the delivery and commissioning of equipment into its final location
All projects are subject to continuous cost control and review, and robust programme management and governance reporting, to ensure they are delivered on time and within budget.
Whether you need support with a smaller capital equipment requirement or a large-scale, complex capital programme, our experienced, dedicated team is here to help.
“The support from NHS SBS during the Greater Manchester Major Trauma Hospital (GMMTH) Project has been exemplary. Their in-depth knowledge of equipment in a health care setting was invaluable, especially given the acuity of the patients that will be treated in the GMMTH, and the associated complexity of the equipment installed across the building.
“Chris consistently went above and beyond in his support to the project and didn’t mind rolling his sleeves up and getting “stuck in”. He was an integral part of the team, it wasn’t a provider/client relationship. Chris worked in an incredibly collaborative manner and integrated himself as a critical part of the team.
“We have already engaged NHS SBS on other capital schemes and would recommend them to others requiring a total equipping service. I would not hesitate to partner with NHS SBS again.”
