Supplies and procurement

Tender opportunities 

We use an electronic tendering system called Delta. This means all tenders will only be accepted electronically.

How you put yourself forwards for a tender will be outlined against each tender opportunity on the Delta portal. If you are interested in becoming a supplier, please register on the portal in the first instance.

In addition to the Trusts Delta platform, opportunities for both WMAS and wider NHS contracts can be found by visiting Find a Tender portal.

Procurement act in an advisory capacity to the Trust on all procurement issues such as current best practice, contractual and legal implications, policy formulation, strategic recommendations and as a point of contact for external stakeholders in procurement.

Suppliers

All suppliers, especially those looking to establish commercial relationships with the Trust, are strongly advised to contact the Procurement Department prior to visiting any Trust departments or any locations directly. You can do so either by phone or e-mail using the contact details below.

As a Trust, we work closely with our clinical and operational colleagues to maximise the value from our supply chain by applying effective strategic sourcing and commercial expertise to all expenditure.

The team is committed to working constructively and collaboratively with our suppliers in developing value adding opportunities and harnessing the potential for our supply chain to support the Trust in delivering better care to our patients and improving operational performance and efficiency.

Whilst cost reduction activity remains important, our focus is beyond the traditional approaches, and is for the Trust to become the ‘partner of choice’ for key suppliers across the healthcare sector – becoming a key strategic partner for product / service development, research, innovation and working collaboratively to improve healthcare for patients.
