The Group procurement service delivers a range of high level supply chain services to individual facilities within the St Vincent's Health Australia Group.
Our Group procurement services team is responsible for selecting and appointing suppliers of all commodities and services used by the group. Only those suppliers who can meet our standards are appointed. These standards are continuously being developed to ensure that our suppliers:
supply brands that are leaders in their markets
have rigorous quality assurance systems
meet all health standards requirements
maintain a timely and efficient distribution system
maintain R&D, marketing and merchandising programs
develop new products and services
have financial integrity and stability
follow codes of ethical practice, and
have the capacity to provide high quality data analysis.
While we prefer to develop longer-term partnerships with our suppliers, alternative sources of supply are continually assessed. Competitive tender processes are used to monitor the marketplace and potential suppliers.
Care is taken to ensure that appointed suppliers remain the best all-round partner, with commodities and services being regularly market tested to ensure they provide value to SVHA and our clients.
