Aintree has a dedicated Procurement & Supplies department managed by the Head of Procurement & Supplies, who has overall responsibility for the provision of goods, equipment (incl. capital) and services.
We aim to achieve value for money and purchase from contracts arranged locally, regionally or nationally.
All tendering and quotation exercises follow Trust Standing Financial Instructions and comply with Local and EU Legislation.
To establish and maintain a good working relationship with our suppliers we insist that the guidelines contained in our Supplier Access Policy are followed, this can be found below. In doing so it is hoped that the relationship between Aintree University Hospital and its suppliers will be a constructive one.
