Webinar: Collaborative NHS Procurement: What Suppliers Need to Know

The NHS is one of the UK’s largest consumers of just about everything – from energy to water, food, and construction materials. With more than 1.2 million staff in NHS England alone and an annual procurement budget of more than £32 billion represents a huge opportunity for suppliers.

This free webinar features exclusive insights from Alyson Brett, Managing Director, NHS Commercial Solutions. Alyson set up the NHS collaborative procurement hub, NHS Commercial Solutions, in July 2007 and has saved over £300m for the NHS providing end-to-end services across the full procurement cycle during its 16 years in operation.

Combining data analytics with dedicated category specialists’ in-depth knowledge of supply markets and stakeholder needs, it works with its stakeholders to identify key value opportunities in a range of categories.

The webinar will cover a range of issues on health procurement including the role of NHS Commercial Solutions and the importance of collaboration - including Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) - and why this is key for suppliers looking for the best routes to market to win business in the healthcare supply chain.

Alyson’s insights will be supported by data-driven insights from the HCI business intelligence platform – with detail of live opportunities to participate and a view of future spending trends. It’s an invaluable opportunity to become a better-informed and more competitive supplier.
