The team won the Procurement Team of the Year award and Marc Saaiman, deputy head of procurement, was honoured with the Above and Beyond award.
They were recognised for an extensive list of achievements that included successfully implementing an inventory management system, delivering over £2million in cost improvements in 2022/23 and reimplementing a materials management to over 50 wards and departments.
The clinical procurement evaluation group, which is chaired by Sam Davison, was also applauded for improving the clinical engagement through the clinical procurement evaluation group.
Marc Saaiman said: “I am proud of how the team pulled together during the pandemic, and what we have gone on to achieve since.
“Following the pandemic, we’ve continued to develop our services with a strong focus on clinical input and effective clinical engagement.”
During the COVID-19 pandemic the team were solely responsible for the acquisition of goods and services for the trust.
The collective effort of each team member helped secure and deliver 5.3 million items of personal protective equipment (PPE).
