Commercial Procurement End-to-End Procurement Service
Our unique end-to-end procurement service
We support NHS Trust to optimise the value of their non-pay spend and in making the step change required to meet future challenges by providing them with:


  • An Ability to Manage the Market
    • Utilising Trust data to aggregate spend and volumes together across organisations we create greater leverage and thereby give NHS Trusts the ability to manage the market.

  • Access to a Strategically Sourced Portfolio of over 350 Contracts
    • Giving Trusts access to competitive rates and the ability to realise savings, all without any compromise on quality.

  • A Centrally Managed Online Catalogue Solution
    • Ensuring only those products and services that are approved for purchase are procured.

  • Control at a Local Level
    • A skilled on-site procurement team is responsible for delivering a Trust’s local procurement activity. Managed within a Centre of Excellence environment and linked to the wider collaborative, this delivery model ensures local knowledge, expertise and control is retained whilst guaranteeing the efficiencies and collaborative benefits of a shared procurement service are realised.

  • Maximised Efficiencies through a Centre of Excellence Approach
    • Our central procurement team is tasked with delivering the more operational aspects of procurement such as contracts that fall under a Trust’s SFI limit and the requisition to PO process (for non CPS contract items).

  • A Streamlined Purchase to Pay Process
    • Creating the purchase order and matching the goods to invoices. The resulting data is analysed giving the NHS the most powerful spend analysis tool in England and feeds our market intelligence to complete the end-to-end procurement cycle.

  • The result?
    • By introducing best practice processes and procedures and addressing the cultural procurement challenges within Trusts we can help NHS Trusts deliver improved governance, greater PO coverage, increased contract compliance and significant cash releasing procurement savings.
