A structured approach to capital planning

At Procurement Services Leasing, we understand the critical role that a strong financial framework plays in supporting your organisation’s goals. We can support your organisation to finance capital purchases in innovative ways. We do this by advising finance leaders on how to structure and procure their financing at the most competitive rates and under the best possible terms.

We are well known in the marketplace and have access to leading finance providers to help secure equipment and items that your organisation needs under manageable payment terms.

To help your organisation achieve this, we follow a structured approach to capital planning.

 Our approach:

1. We’ll help you to identify the data needed from a range of sources. This can include your own data, up to date market cost data, and forecasts drawn from our own historical data which consists of services and consumable costs, risk assessments, purchase costs, financing costs, and technological maturity.
2. Having collated the information, we’ll help you populate your replacement plan in our online system, your plan will be dynamic – adapting to new information, costs or risk assessments. It can be made available to all stakeholders, providing a fully transparent planning tool.
3. Every NHS trust, and many departments, will have a funding gap – the difference between what you need and your available funds. The plan will clearly outline the whole-life costs of the equipment you need to purchase as well as available source of funds. The model will assess the costs of alternative funding options – from cash to loan to lease to managed service, helping you make the most cost-efficient funding decisions.
4. Armed with up to date whole-life costs on an asset-by-asset basis, you’ll be able to assess your options, build well-informed business cases and identify the ideal time and method to replace the equipment on your list.

As part of our capital planning process, we conduct detailed lease vs purchase analyses. These analyses help you make well informed decisions, ensuring you get the best value for your organisation.
