Description
The purpose of this Preliminary Market Engagement is to enable Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust (YAS) to explore opportunities and gain a better understanding of Finance & Procurement systems available to the NHS and their differing abilities.
The NHS is challenged with making significant reductions in spending across the board. The Trust acknowledges that digital solutions can require substantial financial commitment, and is keen to ensure efficiency remains forefront, therefore YAS are also keen to explore the possibilities available in relation to the incorporation of financial fixed asset management and inventory systems and a supplier catalogue management service, and to determine if there is any opportunity for them to be delivered within one system.
Interested parties will be invited to a Supplier Day Event where a short presentation will be delivered by YAS, then opening the floor to feedback and wider discussion with those present exploring the feasibility of goal achievement and current innovations.
Providers will not, at this stage be expected to divulge any commercial information. Presentations and demonstrations from interested parties will be requested at a later date, as part of the tender process. And are likely to be part of the technical evaluation.
