CA17020 - 6405/27 - North Central London Integrated Care System (ICS) - Request for Information (RFI): Exploring Strategic IM&T Reseller Partnerships

Notice Description

The North Central London Integrated Care System (ICS) comprises several NHS Trusts, each currently managing elements of IM&T procurement independently through various resellers. This decentralised approach has led to variation in procurement practices, product selections, and service levels. The ICS is exploring the potential benefits of a more coordinated procurement strategy, potentially through a strategic partnership with one or more IM&T resellers.
