Yorkshire & Humber Suppliers Win £2Million of Business
NHS suppliers in the Yorkshire & Humber region received 61,130 business
opportunities and were awarded over £2m of new business through MultiQuote in 2009.
8 NHS Trusts in the region used the MultiQuote Service to achieve cash
releasing savings, source new suppliers and ensure that more opportunities
are provided to suppliers in their region. In addition to this,
Yorkshire & Humber suppliers also benefited by gaining access to new
Public Sector business throughout the entire UK.
King’s College Hospital Saves Time and Money
King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust has become the latest prestigious
NHS Trust to recognise the benefits of MultiQuote in its eProcurement strategy.
Requisitions requiring written quotes are now being processed and turned
around in as little as 3 hours, which is a vast improvement on the
previous method of that took up to 2 weeks.
The efficiency gained is enabling the trust to subject more
requisitions to competition, generating increased savings.
Cambridge University Hospitals Continue to See ROI From MultiQuote
Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has just entered its 3rd year of MultiQuote usage.
The Trust first deployed the sub OJEU pricing and sourcing service in 2008 and has since
realised a very healthy return on investment from the cash releasing savings achieved.
The trust continues to utilise MultiQuote, ensuring that they always receive best value
from the market. Cambridge University Hospitals derive great benefit from being able to
access suppliers for all areas of spend, from across the UK - delivering the best products,
at the best prices to its clinicians.
NHS Blood & Transplant to Source and Save Simply
After an extensive investigation of the market, the NHS Blood & Transplant Service
have decided to deploy MultiQuote to challenge its sub OJEU spend area.
NHS Blood considered various strategies to address this issue before
commissioning MultiQuote. The service now has the ability to source
from a large, comprehensive database in addition to their own incumbent
suppliers. This enables NHS Blood and Transpant Service to drive savings
from competitive quoting as well as highlighting alternative solutions
that meet its requirements. This brings innovative procurement even at
low value spend.
