Our Purpose

The purpose of South West London Procurement Partnership (SWLPP) is to harness the benefits of collaboration and scale to deliver better outcomes for our member Trusts, their patients and staff, and the wider South West London health and care system.

By working together, we can combine our expertise, insight and collective influence to deliver greater value, strengthen our supply chains and support the transformation of patient care.

Our Objectives

We will deliver value for patients, our Trusts and the wider health system by:

• Supporting excellent patient care – working with clinical and operational colleagues to reduce unwarranted variation, support appropriate product choice and utilisation, and ensure procurement decisions contribute positively to quality and patient outcomes.
  
• Delivering value through commercial excellence – using our collective scale, commercial expertise, category management and contract management capabilities to achieve the best possible value from our non-pay spend, balancing quality, cost, outcomes and sustainability.
• Developing resilient and effective supply chains – creating streamlined, efficient and responsive supply chains that improve product availability, strengthen resilience and support continuity of patient care.
• Harnessing Scan4Safety and enabling technology – supporting the adoption of Scan4Safety principles, digital solutions and enabling technologies to improve traceability, visibility and efficiency across our supply chains, while supporting safer patient care.
• Enabling evidence-based decision-making – making better use of data, analytics, commercial intelligence and clinical insight to provide greater visibility and inform effective, evidence-based procurement and supply chain decisions.
• Building strategic supplier partnerships – developing effective supplier relationships that encourage innovation, create additional value and support the management of a sustainable and resilient supplier landscape across South West London.
• Delivering sustainable value – looking beyond financial savings alone to consider patient value, quality, efficiency, social value and longer-term benefits for our Trusts and the wider health and care system.
• Investing in our people – creating opportunities for career development and progression, building specialist expertise and supporting the recruitment and retention of a highly skilled procurement and supply chain workforce.
