Zanzibar Spotlight: Working with the NHS


"Zanzibar will ensure a great reduction in errors in the end-to-end procurement process, which in turn will mean that Invoice discrepancies will be far reduced. Ultimately this will mean the whole administration time taken for ordering goods & services will be greatly minimised."

Mansel Chamberlain

Zanzibar enables NHS organisations to reduce procurement spend by helping you make smarter purchasing decisions and operate more efficiently. We do this by improving collaboration, commissioning and compliance:

Collaboration

  • Zanzibar allows you to collaborate with other healthcare providers and public sector bodies in your region and nationally to reduce costs.
  • Zanzibar hosts over 500 eProcurement catalogues from over 1,200 suppliers including NHS Supply Chain.
  • It provides access to best-value contracts let by many public bodies including healthcare provides, NHS PASA, OGCbuying.solutions and organisations such as the DWP and many Local Authorities.
  • Through the use of pre-negotiated contracts for good and services, Zanzibar will give you access to increased choice at lower prices and will enable you to leverage your spend and transact with suppliers on your own terms.

Commissioning

  • Zanzibar is not just for goods, our sophisticated solution will help you make better purchasing decisions and increase value for money for types of healthcare intervention.
  • Zanzibar can help you track and manage expenditure on purchased healthcare through facilities such as our request-for-quote and management information systems.
  • You can even use it to trade with other healthcare providers using the national tariff.

Compliance

  • Zanzibar makes it easier for your requisitioners to buy against the contracts you want to use, increasing compliance and reducing the prices finally paid for goods and services.
  • The system also helps you reduce the costs of transacting with your suppliers and provides significant operational efficiencies. For example, it provides a free eInvoicing service and there are no charges for suppliers which improves supplier adoption and participation.
