It then falls to the Procurement team to conduct tendering exercises in line with Public Contracts Regulations (2015) and the NHS Procurement, Patient Choice and Competition Regulations 2013 to help identify the best service providers, ensuring the services procured are in the right place at the right time, at the right quality, in the right quantity and at the right cost.
The Procurement Decision Register (updated May 2022) holds details of our current and recently completed procurements.

The CCG Welcomes public involvement in procurement. If you were selected to be on the evaluation panel of a tender, you would be expected to spend several hours of your time evaluating Bidder's proposals and take one day out to attend the Moderation Day with the rest of the evaluation panel to discuss and agree final scores for each of the Bidders to determine the winning Bid.
In adherence with requirements of the document "Managing Conflicts of Interest: Statutory Guidance for CCGs" published in December 2014 by NHS England, CCGs must maintain a register of procurement decisions (found at the top of this page) taken, which includes the details of the decision, who was involved in making the decision and a summary of any conflicts of interest in relation to the decision and how this was managed by the CCG. This enables the CCG to demonstrate that it is acting fairly and transparently and in the best interest of its patients and local population. A hard copy of this register can be made available upon request for viewing at the CCG's office.
"Managing Conflicts of Interest: Statutory Guidance for CCGs" builds on the guidance issued by other national bodies, in particular Monitor's guidance on the Procurement, Patient Choice and Competition Regulations (No. 2), and guidance issued by GP professional bodies such as the British Medical Association (BMA), The General Medical Council (GMC) and the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP).
