A. The Trust is seeking a long term strategic supplier. The annual spend through the new contract is expected to increase from a current baseline of GBP 15 million to GBP 50 million per annum due to a switch away from suppliers unable to meet required OTIF performance standards, year-on-year growth in activity and the proposed merger with the Royal Brompton and Harefield NHS Foundation Trust (first Q 2021) and a new requirement to establish an ongoing reserve of key pandemic product lines.

(B) The Trust has an off-site Supply Chain Hub at Dartford to receipt and cross-dock inbound deliveries to the Trust. The appointed supplier will deliver to the Trust Supply Chain Hub within an agreed delivery window. The Supply Chain Hub will also be the base for a new performance centre to optimise the Trusts automated inventory systems. The appointed supplier will be required to allow system interfaces to provide end-to-end visibility and support system optimisation.

(C) The appointed supplier would be expected to embed resource at the Supply Chain Hub to work in close partnership with the Trust supply chain and sourcing functions to ensure service delivery, drive growth and implement joint process improvement initiatives.
