Complete Managed Service Solutions
NHS organisations face ongoing funding challenges and are required to reduce deficits whilst safeguarding and improving the quality of services. Managed services can help by enabling sustainable savings without the need for capital outlay, alongside improved service provision. Managed Service Solutions are available for a wide range of clinical and non-clinical specialisms.
VAT is often recoverable in line with HMRC’s Contracted Out Services guidance. Working in partnership with our team of specialist VAT Consultants, we can support you to control and optimise your VAT Strategy.
“Excellent engagement on the ongoing renal project. End user department feedback excellent too. We would recommend NHS SBS to other colleagues, certainly for bespoke project work.”
