Partner Trusts have established the Partners Procurement Service (PPS) in order to improve their combined procurement effectiveness and deliver better value for money.
The participating Partner Trusts are:
Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (MEH)
Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust (RFL)
The Whittington Hospital NHS Trust (WH)
The PPS is jointly and equally owned by all Partner Trusts and is hosted by WH. But staff may be employed on any of the PPS sites.
The rationale for the creation of the PPS is to establish a shared service able to improve the quality of a wide range of procurement services, deliver a more cost effective procurement and supply chain solution and enhance the non\-pay benefits to each Trust.
