Introduction
To comply with the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014 (The Act), NHS Golden Jubilee is required to publish a Procurement Report annually detailing information on all regulated procurement activity. This report reflects information for the period 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2024. In addition to reporting previous activity, the report includes information on regulated procurements that are planned for the next two-year period (1 April 2024 – 31 March 2026).
A regulated procurement is any procurement for goods or services with an estimated value over the life of the contract of £50,000 or more and any such procurement for works with an estimated value over the life of the contract of £2,000,000 or more.
The professional management of procurement activity is an important factor contributing towards the efficient operation of NHS Golden Jubilee and the attainment of corporate objectives. It is essential for patients, staff and stakeholders that projects, supplies and services are delivered on time to NHS Golden Jubilee within optimum commercial arrangements.
NHS Golden Jubilee had a total expenditure with third party providers of £80.7 million net of VAT (based on financial year 2023/2024 data).
The current Procurement Strategy positions procurement activity visibly within NHS Golden Jubilee’s objectives. This establishes Board level commitment to and involvement in the management of the procurement deliverables. The strategy addresses key procurement issues over a 3-year time frame and is subject to annual review. The Audit and Risk Committee approved the strategy in April 2022.
The strategy is delivered through the line management accountability structures with clear targets and timescales being established in relation to improvement in procurement activity undertaken at strategic and operational levels. These targets are reflected within the individual performance plans of the Head of Procurement and other Senior Managers.
