Procurement Opportunities
DDAT aims to achieve value for money on all its tendering and procurement.
With that in mind, procedures have been established to ensure all members of staff, who are involved in tenders and procurement, are aware of the standards that they are expected to follow.
Preferred suppliers will be used, wherever possible, as the Trust has had previous positive interactions with these suppliers. During the tendering and procurement processes, the following four key objectives will always be kept in mind:
- Achieving value for money: Including the cost of goods and services, the quality of goods or services and administrative costs.
- Ensuring fairness: Ensuring that all parties are treated in a fair and equitable manner.
- Establishing accountability: The Trust is ultimately responsible for its expenditure and the conduct of its staff.
- Allowing probity: There is no private gain from the Trust’s financial affairs.
