Procurement

Procurement is the process by which goods and services are acquired, through open competition, by the Trust from external providers. Procurement is similar and sometimes connected to ‘purchasing'/‘buying' – in the Trust we procure contracts for others to purchase/buy from.

The process includes:

  1. identifying goods/services which are to be provided by the Trust and those which are required from external providers/third parties
  2. deciding how they want these services to be delivered, tendering for them, evaluating the bids and finally, contracting directly with suppliers, all on the Trust's terms and conditions.
