The appointed supplier will deliver to the Trust Supply Chain Hub within an agreed delivery window. The Supply Chain Hub will also be the base for a new Performance Centre to optimise the Trusts automated inventory systems. The appointed supplier will be required to allow system interfaces to provide end-to-end visibility and support system optimisation.

(C) The appointed supplier would be expected to embed resource at the Supply Chain Hub to work in close partnership with the Trust supply chain and sourcing functions to ensure service delivery, drive growth, and implement joint process improvement initiatives.
