NHS Supply Chain – Financial Model Support Services

Tender description

NHS Supply Chain currently operates on an outsourced basis and the contract is due to expire in October 2018. In preparation for the expiry of this contract, the Authority is working with Trusts and other relevant stakeholders to produce a Future Operating Model (FOM) for procurement and logistics within the NHS. The intention is to prepare an Outline Business Case (OBC) by the end of this calendar year. To date a formal shortlisting exercise has been undertaken in which 5 options have been identified, and good progress has been made on the drafting of the relevant text. However commensurate progress has not been made on the development of a financial model to underpin the OBC. Work had commenced on this but was not progressing satisfactorily and has now been suspended. This tender sets out a requirement for a short (approximately 8 weeks) injection of expert business case financial modelling resource to create the underlying financial model for the business case.
