  • 1.  NHS e-Procurement

    Posted 13-Apr-2016 05:23

    I am curious to know how many medical device manufacturers are aware of and preparing for the NHS e-Procurement Strategy for selling their products to the NHS in England. Even if you sell to distributors who sell your products to the NHS, there are actions you need to take. Are manufacturers in general prepared for this requirement?

    Yes,

    Many organizations are well into implementation for this NHS initiative.

    Bottom line: get crackin or you won't sell to the NHS.

    The difficult aspect is collecting and entering the required attribute data...100+ fields, and then sustaining that data.
