Capital and Construction Services is a technology management firm that serves existing medical facilities and those under construction. Their bottom line is reducing capital equipment costs. Users on average identify 18% savings through their services.
PHV members can access the Capital and Construction Services database to research capital costs, help create budgets, research market trends, and ultimately make more informed decisions finding savings for your organization.
For your next construction project, they can assist by managing equipment budgeting, procurement, specifications, space planning, and interior design. Additionally, they provide consulting services to assist with procurement policies and procedures.
A lot of being in a GPO is comparable to having a membership at a “big box” shopping club; but at PHV, they have knowledgeable support staff that can help you analyze your spending.
Using tools like Supply Chain Advisor, they help ensure that you are on the optimal contracts for your organization. PHV acts as your liaison with suppliers should issues arise with pricing or contract compliance, or if you just want something clarified, their support staff is here for you.
