Procurement of Healthcare (Clinical) Services: Briefing 5: Summary of The Decision-Making Process

Uploaded by

Rasel Sarker

This document summarizes the key decision points in a procurement process for healthcare services: 1. Consider whether an existing contract can be modified or if a new procurement is needed. 2. Determine if there is likely to be more than one viable provider. If so, conduct a competitive procurement. If only one provider, consider a single tender action. 3. Assess if the service is suitable for an Any Qualified Provider framework. If so, establish the framework following accreditation of providers. 4. Choose the appropriate procurement process based on whether specifications need provider input or innovation is desired. Transparency and equal treatment of bidders must be maintained.
