The Dukefield Group have been working with the public sector for over 25 years. We help with all areas of procurement, offering our wealth of knowledge and experience in a diverse range of purchasing areas.
All four businesses within the Dukefield Group – Dukefield Procurement, Dukefield Foodservice, Dukefield Energy, and Dukefield Print Solutions work in partnership to help with generating procurement savings, alongside our additional supporting services.
Dukefield Procurement contract manage a range of fully compliant framework agreements for you to access free of charge. These range from our professional services, technology through to workplace supplies & services. All the frameworks we manage offer you an excellent choice of suppliers. Dukefield Procurement also have a team of MCIPs qualified specialists that you can access to support your individual requirements.
Using framework agreements is the easiest way to save time, hassle and ensure you’re procuring your goods and services compliantly. Frameworks allow NHS bodies to choose suppliers that they can work with on a long-term basis which decreases the overall costs and resource efforts involved in procurement. Price certainty is another huge benefit of utilising existing frameworks.
If you’re an NHS Trust, Dukefield Procurement can work with you in a collaborative procurement approach by increasing your buying power and rationalising your supply base. We will ensure that you remain compliant throughout the process and offer advice and guidance every step of the way. We can also help facilitate a dialogue between schools in your area and/or the schools within your Trust. Centralising your purchasing can save you time and money as you can deal with a small number of entrusted strategic suppliers rather than multiple suppliers for each school.
