  5. Member Input : Key Messages • NHS Supply Chain’s contracting process will utilise a high-integrity, member-driven competitive bid process. • NHS Supply Chain will gather and use member input to: • Establish member satisfaction with the contracting process • Optimize how we use member input • Ensure the information we receive accurately reflects the diversity of the membership • Processes allow members to focus attention on contracting decisions that directly affect patient outcomes.

  6. Enhance Effectiveness of Member Input: Three Groups • Councils • Group of members brought together by NHS Supply Chain staff to provide strategic member input on supply-related business issues, agreements and programs of ongoing concern • Populated with staff from the largest, most engaged members of NHS Supply Chain and serve a 3 year term • Focused on largest revenue-driving member segment • Task Forces • Task forces are formed for discussion of medium- or high-profile agreements • Task force is formed when a council determines it does not have the appropriate end-user expertise to provide input • Task forces disband after completing their designated tasks • Contracting Advisory Panel • Members at large • Low-cost way to acquire broad-based input directly affecting contracts • Broad opportunity for input designed to enhance procurement process.
