Objectives How Category Management is being used in NWSSP Realignment of teams A example Category
Definition: Category management is a process that utilises cross functional teamwork to deliver procurement outcomes that address the needs of stakeholders. It is not: A different way to do a contract
Category Management is only part of the picture NWSSP Business Plan Sourcing Strategy Category Mgt plans Medical Clinical Individual KPIs & PADR
We may not realise it, but we are already thinking differently Mental Health strategy and direction is akin to a Category Management approach Ortho & Cardio strats built with approach in mind We may not realise it, but we are already thinking differently Food team approach is well established and has good customer engagement Health Boards moving to CPGs Stapling tender scope broadened to accommodate Category approach Heads of Sourcing responsibility split

Category levers and drivers Which ones to use and when? Market share growth Rationalisation Collaboration Commodity tracking Clinically driven negotiation Standardisation Benchmarking Unit of purchase Terms of business New market entrants Which are valid for your portfolio?

Clinical categories Categorised as products purchased and used solely by Clinical directorates without crossover

A worked example All Wales Orthopaedic Implants Programme
Establish Category Goals Where we are… Where we want to be Industry confused as to which is the chosen supply route, NHS SC, Wales, HB specific. Inconsistent pricing across Health Boards Debate is contract not price and service focussed Clinicians not engaged and not cost focussed Significant spend across Wales not covered by a compliant contract Poor quality data in Oracle preventing accurate analysis of spend and trends Many procurement teams having to be involved in pricing Surgeon choice is final Single co-ordinated portal to access business in Wales Structured pricing allowing for further savings as strategy unfolds Clinicians fully aware of the cost impact of their product selection Multi-lot framework, reducing bureaucracy and allowing for commitment where available Products coded consistently and categorised within a common structure A centrally managed catalogue Clinical evidence built into the system and available to all
Category Characteristics Scope of the category to be covered i.e. What is included in this Category group? Category characteristics, breakdown into subgroups. Understand the history.

Prudent Healthcare/Innovation
Vision for the Future Strategic Governance - Establish Clinical Consumable Board (All Wales – similar to Pharmaceuticals) WHO? Clinical/Medical Leadership Robust reporting arrangements back into CEO/DOFs ? Contracts let once only for Wales – One Wales approach, and robust understanding and reporting for any deviation A Contracts Programme linked to the Savings Delivery Plan Products and Services that deliver value for money and represent acceptable quality Clearly understood system for designing contracts, partnered between HB/Trusts and NWSSP
Vision for the Future Products and Services that provide a safe Clinical outcome to meet the patients needs Evidence that price and quality benchmarking has been undertaken and is robust within ‘the system’. A Service that reflects the Welsh Government Procurement Statement – ‘A route to consider Innovative Products’ in particular the Welsh Economy and Community Benefits
Procurement What Works – What Doesn’t Cost of freedom of choice Example 1: Where leadership is needed to bring about clinical change and release value! Laryngoscope Blades, Handles & associated consumables is due to be awarded for 1st March start with £50k savings. However, if Health Boards migrate to lower cost alternatives on the framework then the savings rise to £200,000 Comment made by Health Minister when signing the award paper was: “Collectively we could save £150,000 by adopting the best value products in this contract. It is just one example of the prudent healthcare approach in practice. While comparatively small at each LHB level it amounts to a sum significant sum collectively”.
Ingredients for Success Clear vision for the future Top level support for the change Leadership to drive the change Structure and resources to move forward Clear timescale for change
