## About this tender

NHS Arden GEM CSU is looking for healthcare providers, particularly Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs - Organisations with between 1 and 250 employees) to participate in a survey on how they access and apply for healthcare procurements and the potential barriers they may encounter in accessing and applying for opportunities.

Your contribution would be appreciated and a small questionnaire is available on the Bravo Portal for you to complete. It should take less than 10 minutes of your time and the results will be used as part of an MBA dissertation which will help inform NHS Arden GEM CSU with a view of how to improve the procurement process to encourage more participation of SMEs in healthcare procurement. All responses will be treated in confidence and where individual comments are given these will be anonymised. A summary of the findings will be available to those who participate.
