## Notice

NHS London Procurement Partnership are exploring the options around systems and solutions for managing tail spend within the NHS. With increasing pressures to find savings, make efficiencies and reduce costs wherever possible, NHS procurement teams are looking to the spend that has not been strategically or actively managed previously. We are keen to discover what systems or solutions may be available to assist with this. If you have a system, solution, technology or technique that has been or could be used to support the management of tail spend, we would like to hear about it and understand what benefits it could bring to the NHS. This piece of preliminary market engagement could inform the establishment of a framework, dynamic market or contract for the London region, depending on the range and type of solutions presented and requirement of London trusts.
