We have introduced the supplier representative interface policy to provide support and guidance to both healthcare professionals within our Trust and external (non-pharmaceutical) supplier representatives when working together.
The policy also provides a framework for (non-pharmaceutical) supplier representatives on the standards of behaviour expected whilst engaging with the Trust and its employees.
It is important that we provide a transparent process to develop and maintain a structured, professional relationship with our external suppliers and their representatives. The policy does not restrict any communications regarding current contracts between us and our current contracted suppliers.
Suppliers’ representatives who wish to discuss their business (products, promotions, commercial propositions, innovative working and trials etc) with us must initially download and complete the access approval formand email it to supplier.
