Let me tell you one thing , I have been digging and I am totally convinced 100% that VS will have a contract with The Shelford Group .

I have been doing more investigating and I WILL BE PROVED RIGHT !!!!

VERY VERY STRONG BUY !!!!!!!

Take it or leave it

Honestly I think 1p is low for the Nhs contract with shel ford group... It would bring credibility to vs and imply future contracts are realistic too

Not only that we know there were two more contracts which have not been disclosed to the market fully

And who knows Bosques might be ready to start delivering returns too - that sounds like it is growing well.

And manas and even Amedeo resources could add a little bit of value bearing in mind they are supposed to have news this half of the year

Let's hope you are right RTW1. Next week will be fascinating.

[ride the wave 1] 17/9/2016 23:13

I hope we get " The Shelford Group has signed a contract with VS" rns on Monday , if we do I reckon we will be 1p+ within a few days (max)IMHO

[professor pettigrew] 17/9/2016 22:58

You could be 100% spot on there sidahass.

I'm expecting news next week, otherwise what will Zaf have to discuss?

The recent lacklustre share price performance?

He knows he'll be at the mercy of Zak and anyone else that's with him, so he'll also know that he'll have to go into the interview fully prepared.

A nice bullish RNS beforehand would set the scene nicely.

Thanks again to RTW1 for all his excellent posts.

NOTE :-

Welch is also chairman of the Shelford Procurement Group, which comprises 10 leading NHS multi-speciality academic healthcare trusts dedicated to excellence in clinical research, education and patient care.

He told delegates: “We think that if a product is good enough for one hospital then it is good enough for all hospitals. We are trying to drive this in procurement moving on.”

SO IF ITS GOOD ENOUGH FOR GUYS AND ST THOMAS , ITS GOOD ENOUGH FOR THE WHOLE GROUP (at a guess 😜)

and standardisation key for NHS procurement
5-May-2016

Conference hears how a single e-auction helped to drive down the cost of medical devices by 47%


Medtech manufacturers and NHS procurement chiefs need to work together to meet the changing demands of the healthcare sector moving forward, a conference heard.

Speaking at the 2016 Hospital Innovations Exhibition and Conference at Olympia last week, Gary Welch, director of procurement and supply chain at Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, said: “With medtech there is an increasing focus on standardisation and rationalisation.

We think that if a product is good enough for one hospital, then it is good enough for all hospitals. We are trying to drive this in procurement moving on
“There have been a number of stories of the many different types of products being used across various trusts and the different prices paid, but the days of these freedoms are rapidly behind us and going forward it will be about rationalisation.R21;

Welch is also chairman of the Shelford Procurement Group, which comprises 10 leading NHS multi-speciality academic healthcare trusts dedicated to excellence in clinical research, education and patient care.

He told delegates: “We think that if a product is good enough for one hospital, then it is good enough for all hospitals. We are trying to drive this in procurement moving on.”

The Shelford Procurement Group recently carried out some research into two of the most-commonly-purchased needle products and held a 40-minute e-auction to see if it could drive down the cost.

In under an hour, the group shaved £600,000 off the total bill for procuring these devices over all 10 hospitals.

“This shows that acting together and talking volume can make huge savings,” said Welch.

“Before the auction the trusts bought 80% of these products from a single supplier. At the auction they were not the cheapest and we did not end up going with this supplier. But they did look at their pricing and, although they didn’t win the tender, their response was to reduce the price into the system for everyone by between 40-45%. Overall, through this e-auction we saved 47% on the cost of these two products.

We can’t collaborate if we just sit on the side of the swimming pool dangling our feet in the water. We have got to jump in
“This shows there is opportunity out there if we work together to harness and capture it.”

But he warned that, to do this over every category of procurement, would take investment and buy-in from board level down.

“To chief executives and procurement directors, I would ask that we be more creative,” he said.

“We can’t collaborate if we just sit on the side of the swimming pool dangling our feet in the water. We have got to jump in.

“We have got to leverage commercial value and we must improve our data and systems. This requires a change in behaviour. We need good leadership and we need resources in the budget. Doing work like the e-action does not come cheap and we can’t afford to get it wrong.”

Searching for savings and delivering value – the Shelford Group
Add to programme
The Shelford Group has set out a procurement strategy across the five years up to 2020. The strategy is designed to optimise the group’s collective buying power and clinical reputation to drive cost savings. It also aims to ensure that the clinicians and business users across the Shelford Group will have access to the best commercial and service terms for all of the products and services they need to deliver excellent levels of patient care, high quality research and education.

As Lord Carter's Review highlighted earlier this year, procurement is a vital area to pursue efficiency improvement, cost reduction and support improvements to clinical care. The central theme of the Shelford Group Procurement Strategy is the development of clinically-led, evidence-based category management – recognising that standardisation and reducing variation results in improved clinical outcomes as well as cost and efficiency benefits.

This session will highlight:

The ways in which the Shelford Group Trusts are working together to achieve significantly higher levels of savings;
How the market has responded and what is expected from our supplier partners;
The importance of clinical engagement and the challenges faced;
How the Shelford Group is aligning with other organisations and initiatives across the procurement & supply chain landscape;

10% of the NHS yearly spend in ONE contract .

Remember that's just from the first early adopters !!

The potential here is mind blowing .

STRONG BUY

[ride the wave 1] 17/9/2016 18:55

The above is for Newcastle NHS Trust that comes under The Shelford Group .

If I had to guess 😝 I would say that they will be using VS for catalogue management (with ALL the other 9 trusts) .
