Maximising Purchasing Power

Purchasing represents one of the biggest potential areas of saving for any NHS organisation.  

NHS Shared Business Services e-Procurement solution provides a wealth of information to help clients get best value when buying goods and services.

With around 25% of all NHS expenditure passing through NHS SBS systems, we can provide insight on where Trusts can make improvements and how they might benefit from collaborative procurement to boost purchasing power. 

As well as this, with environmental issues now high on the DH agenda, our fully electronic e-Procurement solution helps Trusts to reduce their carbon footprint and reach their environmental targets.

The power of having push-button access to purchasing information has been liberating and a real driver for day-to-day efficient working.
