Procurement
Our procurement department provides reliable, well-timed and effective supply management systems, services and support to clients, Blue Care facilities and associated activities.
The Blue Care Procurement Management Team is responsible for selecting and appointing all our commodities and services suppliers. Only suppliers meeting our standards are selected. These standards are continuously being developed to ensure suppliers:
- supply locally-made goods and produce wherever possible
- supply leading market brands
- have rigorous quality assurance systems
- meet all health standards requirements
- maintain a timely and efficient distribution system
- develop new products and services
- have financial integrity and stability
- follow ethical codes of practice
- have the capacity to provide high quality data analysis.
Although we prefer longer-term supplier partnerships, alternative supply sources are continually reviewed. Competitive tender processes are used to monitor the marketplace and potential suppliers. We ensure appointed suppliers remain the best all-round partner, with commodities and services regularly market tested to ensure they provide value to Blue Care and our clients.
The information in this section is important for existing and new vendors participating in our supply chains to read and formally respond to.
