I have worked in and around the NHS for over 20 years.I have worked for some of the biggest service providers in the sector and some of the largest NHS Trusts in the country.I’ve led teams that have won over £ 100 million of new business, managed tenders worth over £ 250 million, been responsible for £100m + P&Ls, and transformed operational contracts that employed over 1,000 people. But I’m now working for myself.I’ve loved working for big organisations, but working for myself will mean I can help more people, make more of an impact, and ultimately create more value for the NHS and the private sector.I aim to create better partnerships between the NHS and the private sector. I will do this by supporting both sides throughout the lifecycle of a contract.For the NHS - I connect them with potential service providers and contractors, help them shape and manage their tenders, support them with problematic contracts, and ultimately ensure they get the full benefit and value of working with the private sector.For the Private Sector - I help them understand the NHS marketplace, identify and connect to the key stakeholders, shape their bids to win more work with the NHS, and help navigate and resolve contractual issues on existing contracts.I do this through my exceptional ability to build relationships, ask the right questions, and create solutions to complex problems. I am trusted by both the public and private sectors, which enables me to find win-win solutions that work for both parties.If you want me to work with you, drop me a line.I’m also passionate about sharing knowledge and ideas to help create better partnerships.
