NHS Commercial Alliance
NHS Commercial Solutions and The East of England NHS Collaborative Procurement Hub form the NHS Commercial Alliance. This strategic partnership between two collaborative procurement organisations is designed to step up delivery and improve services to customers, thereby aiming to offer significant procurement benefits to NHS trusts across the east and south east of England.

The aim is to drive through greater system efficiencies, avoid duplication of effort and ensure that trusts receive the maximum benefits of collaborative procurement.
