The Need for Effective Supplier Management in the Care Sector

Moreover, reliable contractors help ensure that all spaces within care facilities remain compliant with regulatory standards, functional for both staff and patients, and comfortable for daily living.

Our supplier management software, Prosure360, works in tandem with Elogs Facilities Services. Elogs Facilities Services ensures that businesses’ fabric maintenance requirements are managed swiftly, cost-effectively, and to the highest quality.

The Elogs Facilities Services supply chain is made up of approved contractors who serve all areas across the UK, all of which are approved using the Prosure360 platform. Essentially, Prosure360, ensures that the Elogs Facilities Services supply chain is made up of verified suppliers and contractors.

Prosure360 supports Elogs Facilities Services with a fast and responsive delivery team that can deal with any issues or queries they have, and that can tailor the system to their needs if required. This could be especially useful for care homes as they would be able to address facilities related issues quickly with the help of Prosure360’s reliable and qualified suppliers and contractors.

By fostering relationships with qualified and reputable suppliers and contractors, care homes can create an environment where patients feel secure, valued, and well-cared for. Ultimately, this contributes to better health outcomes and improved quality of life for those in their care.

The Rise of ESG in the Care Sector

Supplier management platforms allow care organisations to check whether suppliers and contractors adhere to ESG standards.

Supplier Management Software: A Game-Changing Solution

To address the complex challenges of supplier management in the care sector, many organisations are turning to supplier management software. This technology offers numerous benefits, including:

• Centralised data collection and management.
• Easy sharing of supplier information with stakeholders and partners.
• Streamlined vetting and compliance processes.
• Enhanced visibility into the entire supply chain.

By leveraging supplier management software, care organisations can ensure they only work with service providers who meet their exact requirements. This digital transformation is particularly valuable for the care sector as it has traditionally relied heavily on paper-based processes. Implementing supplier management software offers long-term advantages for care sector organisations, such as:

• Improved data sharing and storage capabilities.
• Enhanced operational efficiencies.
• Better decision-making through data-driven insights.
• Increased transparency and accountability.
• Easier compliance with evolving regulations and standards.

Our Partnership with Quality Care Group

Quality Care Group (QCG) is an insurance company that works with over 2000 care providers across the UK. Founded in 2009, QCG has built a stellar reputation amongst care businesses, rapidly growing as time goes by.

With a strong passion and devotion to the care sector, QCG has developed a unique set of products and services to address their clients pain points.

Prosure360 provides Quality Care Group with a partnership tailored to their specific needs to support the QCG client base of care homes.  Right now, a major topic within the care sector is Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG), which is becoming increasingly important. So, QCG wanted to stay ahead of the curve by getting support for managing ESG across their supply chain.

Prosure360 has the ability to craft bespoke question sets – thus supporting the care home client base to glean the information they require from their suppliers and contractors around core topics such as ESG.

With our pre-qualified assessment, we will help Quality Care Group ensure ESG principles are upheld across the supply chain. Prior to using Prosure360, QCG was trying to find a way to better implement ESG practices, but they struggled to find the right tool to embed ESG into the supply chain.

This partnership will help Quality Care Group remain competitive and better support their client base. Care homes are required to meet specific standards, so, from a commercial perspective, care homes need to prove their commitment to ESG.

Investing in robust supply chain management practices and tools not only protects patients and enhances operational efficiency but also positions care sector organisations for long-term success in an increasingly complex and competitive landscape.
