The eProcure Digital Market Place (DM) immediately connects NHS and Local Authority organisations to a fully procured network of suppliers and enables the NHS and Local Authority organisations to access the suppliers in a controlled, transparent and procurement compliant way by posting journey requirements (for 15 minutes time to several months in advance) and enabling all approved suppliers to bid in real time for each piece of activity. Where a longer competition is posted, a competition can be run to lock the price in for that period creating clear budget control for buyers and security of work for suppliers.
