Total Orthopaedic Solutions 2
The new Total Orthopaedic Solutions 2 framework starts on 3 February 2020, will run for 48 months and ends on 2 February 2024.
The agreement provides access to competitive national pricing across 10 product Lots (see the product categories section for details). It continues the work conducted under the Total Orthopaedic Solutions 1 framework agreement, which has delivered in excess of £60 million in annualised cash releasing savings to the NHS to date. We look to secure effective solutions for all NHS trusts and through this way of working we have secured over 50% of all spend in scope across the English NHS. This has been achieved through a solution based approach which has seen continual efficiency improvements.
What you can expect from us
We will work closely with each trust to provide support throughout the process with dedicated Category Managers (CMs) and Clinical Engagement and Implementation Managers (CEIMs). The CM will work with you to ensure the trust objectives are clearly identified early in the process and the CEIM will engage with your clinicians, drive rationalisation projects and help with product selections.
Opportunities are identified by completing a full review of a trusts orthopaedic spend and then benchmarking this against the Total Orthopaedic Solutions 2 framework. This identifies where trusts are able to save money by simply providing their consent to migrate to Total Orthopaedic Solutions 2 pricing and transact via the NHS Supply Chain eDirect route.
Clinically focused
We have a dedicated team of experienced professionals with orthopaedic clinical, industry, product and commercial expertise who can converse with all stakeholders. Through our in depth and robust processes, we have delivered successful outcomes for a number of years which are centred around the needs of clinical departments.
It is essential that we have early meetings with clinical leads, to discuss the changing landscape, the end to end processes for complex projects and the national strategy. The assigned CEIM will then maintain direct and regular contact with the clinical lead or appointed sub speciality clinical lead in order to maintain collaboration.
Engagement focused and supported processes
Procurement has a fundamental role in delivering a positive outcome and we are resourced to ensure that support is targeted and utilised as effectively as possible. The clinical team are at the heart of the decision making process. We will ensure that they are given the right support throughout in order to make an informed and timely decision.
