Purchasing

The Purchasing team is responsible for general transactional and tactical purchasing activities. This includes customer services, purchase order queries, delivery queries, pricing agreements, quotation exercises, mid value tendering and equipment maintenance contract management.

The team generally manages expenditure up to the value of £100,000.

Suppliers please note if you experience problems with any orders you received, for example, out of stock, price issues – please contact Supplies directly.

Supplies and deliveries

The Supplies team is responsible for the trust’s Goods Receipt and Distribution Centre, materials management service and overall logistics strategy for the organisation.

All deliveries must be received between 8am to 4pm.

For large deliveries couriers or suppliers need to telephone supplies (Goods Receipt and Distribution Centre) to book in delivery and in addition for large deliveries please ensure the vehicle has tail lift facilities, as no forklift truck is available.
