In 2018, SCCL (the management function of the NHS Supply Chain) entered contracts with 11 Category Management Service Providers (CMSPs) to provide goods and services to NHS trusts and healthcare organisations across England and Wales. Goods are delivered through two enabling services which underpin the CMSP model, these enabling services are Logistics and Fulfilment, and Supporting Technology.
