<p>NHS Improvement, through an open and competitive procurement process, awarded Deloitte
a contract to support NHS Improvement to develop a new NHS Procurement Target Operating
Model. The contract for phase 1 of this work, which ended on 31 May 2019, cost £400,000.</p><p>The
new Procurement Target Operating Model will consider the processes, data, and skills
and capabilities to deliver a more efficient procurement service. The remit of the
Procurement Target Operating Model programme does not cover clinical products and
therefore were not considered as part of this review. NHS Improvement has collaborated
with National Health Service providers’ chief executives, finance and procurement
leads to develop the NHS’s procurement target operating model. Members of the Healthcare
Supply Association have also been engaged with as part of the target operating model’s
development.</p><p>Clinical products, including continence products, which are procured
by the NHS are the remit of Supply Chain Coordination Limited who work with NHS providers’
procurement teams across England. Clinical product suppliers have not been engaged
with on the new procurement target operating model as they are outside the its remit.</p><p>
