For CECA members who missed the New Hospital Programme East of England Supply Chain Conference last week please see the below post-event information.
The presentation slides from the conference are available here: NHP East of England Supplier Conference
To engage with the programme, NHP encourage you to take the following three steps:
Explore NHP’s supply chain resources
- NHP recommend reading their NHP Supplier Guide, which provides an overview of the New Hospital Programme, the Hospital 2.0 approach, and ways to stay informed about upcoming opportunities.
- You may also find their recent podcast series useful. These episodes explore the programme’s ambition to transform NHS healthcare infrastructure, explain the Hospital 2.0 system, and outline how the Hospital 2.0 Alliance is delivering the programme.
- Further information on the programme, individual schemes, and the latest news can be found here. NHP encourage you to check back regularly for updates.
Register to access contract opportunities
- Register on CompeteFor and create or update your company profile to access future Hospital 2.0 Alliance supply chain opportunities. CompeteFor is a free online brokerage tool that connects buyers with suppliers.
Engage with NHP
- Sign up for ongoing programme updates, including the NHP Industry Bulletin, by completing their Supply Market Survey. This will allow NHP to keep you informed about relevant market engagement activities and events.
- You can also follow the New Hospital Programme on LinkedIn for the latest news and insights.
- If you have any questions, please contact the New Hospital Programme team here.
NHP would also like to share a clarification on a question raised during the conference which may be of interest to suppliers who were unable to attend, regarding Hospital 2.0 products. NHP currently mandates the adoption of seven Hospital 2.0 products, with these requirements reflected in the contractual requirements for all 11 Wave 1 schemes. While schemes are required to comply with the associated Hospital 2.0 product specifications and standards, NHP has not specified or approved particular suppliers for their delivery. Suppliers therefore continue to have the opportunity to compete to provide products and solutions that meet the relevant Hospital 2.0 requirements.
NHP thank you for your interest in the New Hospital Programme and hope to welcome you to a future event.
