Health - Strategic Health Authority

About the project

A Strategic Health Authority is helping PCTs across its region to acquire and develop commercial capability within the context of World Class Commissioning and System Reform.

The Approach

The SHA engaged AMTEC to fulfil the director-level role of Commercial Partnership Manager. The consultant is providing commercial leadership and is the role model for building commercial capability and acumen within the commissioning arms of the PCTs.

AMTEC is responsible for working in partnership with PCTs, procurement hubs, and other collaborative initiatives that will deliver improved capability based on measurable process improvement. The role also encompasses World Class Commissioning assurance, focused on demonstrating tangible results such as improved VFM within the PCTs and outcomes for patients.

Working with the SHA and trusts to identify commercial opportunities, AMTEC is addressing SHA activities and issues and sharing with other parties able to assist in resolution. Using skills transfer, AMTEC is leveraging DH Commercial Agency (CA) activities with the SHA and Trusts, and extending market intelligence within the Commercial Agency and the SHA.

AMTEC's involvement includes project development work with the SHA and Trusts to assist in delivery of existing initiatives to time, cost and quality. AMTEC is providing guidance on best practice in procurement and acting as arbiter for decision-making on approaches to resourcing internal or external consultancy.
