Commercial and procurement support for healthcare organisations

Procurement, contract and delivery expertise for NHS bodies, private providers and care organisations.

In short

Healthcare organisations buy a wide range of goods and services under tight scrutiny, often across several sites and with clinical stakeholders who reasonably will not accept a change that makes their day harder. The commercial work is usually less about price alone and more about balancing cost, continuity and clinical acceptability.

What organisations here usually need help with

  • Non-pay spend rising faster than income
  • Framework and contract renewals arriving without preparation
  • Fragmented buying across sites and departments
  • Digital and system implementations that stall after go-live
  • Capacity gaps in commercial and procurement teams

How we help

Procurement and commercial support

Non-pay spend analysis, category work, framework selection and competitive processes, with clinical engagement built into the approach rather than added at the end.

Programme and project delivery

Programme and project leadership for service change, estates work and digital implementation, including independent review where a programme has slipped.

Change and transformation

Operating model and process work where a service redesign has to land with clinical teams as well as finance.

Commercial governance

Contract registers, renewal control, supplier performance and the commercial governance that stands up to audit.

Systems and process change

Support before, during and after system implementation, with a focus on whether people are actually using it.
