With NHS Trusts now operating in a more consumer driven healthcare market, the importance of attractive, patient focused facilities has never been more important. NHS Trusts should expect their new facilities to be delivered on time, within budget and offer value for money throughout their life. They should expect them to be fit for purpose and represent the opinions of those using them. ProCure21 offers the Trust a better chance to achieve these expectations than they would get from a traditional procurement relationship.

The detail page will give you an introduction of the principles and tools of ProCure21. More detail is provided in the ProCure21 guide also downloadable from this site.
