The Procurement Department is committed to providing a highly valued service by supporting all procurement activities required by The Royal Children’s Hospital (RCH) in a timely efficient and cost effective manner. This includes creating an environment for all markets to enable a partnership approach to delivering contracts relating to products and services. We concentrate on the value achieved as opposed to only the price, in a fair and transparent manner.

The RCH Procurement Department supports staff by providing product information, locating sources of supply, expanding options and establishing and maintaining relationships that foster a good working relationship with staff and suppliers with the premise of best quality at the lowest total cost.

Procurement is supported by the Store Department who are responsible for maintaining imprest supplies, receiving in ward goods and delivering consumables within the RCH.
