Trusts are under increased pressure to improve productivity and performance without compromising the high-quality care and the positive patient experience they provide. For trusts to remain financially viable under these competing priorities is a significant challenge.
The COCH Procurement Services can help you to make effective use of your available resources and obtain greater value from your supply chain, whilst remaining compliant with the legal framework of the EU Procurement Directives.

Tactical Buying Solutions
From spend analysis to large scale eAuctions, we can help you to secure significant savings across your lower value spend areas and commodity purchasing.
We can facilitate best practice and consistency across your purchasing and procurement teams by using well defined processes and standard operating procedures which will allow your teams to concentrate on the areas in which they can add value and deliver value for money for your Trust.
Materials Management & Logistics Reviews
An effective materials management system can free up valuable clinical resources; provide a continuous supply of products and deliver a more cost-effective solution than traditional stock control processes. We can review your materials management and logistics processes to ensure that waste is reduced and the processes are optimised to their maximum efficiency.
With the NHS experiencing increased cost and time pressures, we can help you to improve your materials management systems to ensure that valuable time and resources can concentrate on the areas that matter most.
