The Group Supply Management Service delivers a range of high level Supply Chain services to individual facilities within St Vincent's & Holy Spirit Health.

The service strives to provide reliable, timely and effective Supply Management systems, services and support to its clients, St Vincent's & Holy Spirit Health facilities, and the associated activities of St Vincent's & Holy Spirit Health.

The provision of Supply Management systems & services is performed by the open and direct involvement of all Group Materials Managers acting as a unified and supportive team in line with the core values of the St Vincent's & Holy Spirit Health. In this performance, we continue to focus on the provision of superior customer service, quality and work performance in pursuit of operational, financial and ethical values and objectives.

The St Vincent's & Holy Spirit Health Materials Management Team is responsible for selecting and appointing suppliers of all commodities and services used by the group.

Only those suppliers who can meet our standards are appointed. These standards are continously being developed to ensure that our suppliers:

• supply brands that are leaders in their markets
• have rigorous quality assurance systems
• meet all health standards requirements
• maintain a timely and efficient distribution system
• maintain R&D, marketing and merchandising programs
• develop new products and services
• have financial integrity and stability
• follow codes of ethical practice
• have the capacity to provide high quality data analysis

While we prefer to develop longer-term partnerships with our suppliers, alternative sources of supply are continually assessed. Competitive tender processes are used to monitor the marketplace and potential suppliers.

Care is taken to ensure that appointed suppliers remain the best all-round partner, with commodities and services being regularly market tested to ensure they provide value to the St Vincent's & Holy Spirit Health and our clients.

The clients of the Supply Management Service can be classified into two categories:

• Internal customers of the Supply Management Service are both clinical and non-clinical. They range from managers in all wards and specialty areas (i.e. Operating Theatres, Primary Care Units, etc) to the Executive, the Board and all employees of the St Vincent's & Holy Spirit Health facilities.
• External customers of the Supply Management Service are primarily the Healthcare facilities' Vendors/creditors, patients and debtors, relevant health and government institutions and other general users.
