In short
Hospices carry the cost base of a healthcare provider and the funding model of a charity. Every pound saved on non-pay spend is a pound that stays in care, and most hospices are running lean teams where nobody has time to review supplier arrangements properly.
What organisations here usually need help with
- Non-pay costs rising while fundraised income is flat
- Supplier arrangements that have rolled over for years
- Small teams with no dedicated procurement resource
- Retail, catering, facilities and clinical supplies all buying separately
- Systems bought for one part of the organisation that never joined up
How we help
Procurement and commercial support
A first look at where the money actually goes, then focused work on the categories that carry the value: energy, facilities, clinical supplies, IT and agency.
Programme and project delivery
Support for capital projects, estate moves and system implementations where there is no internal project resource.
Change and transformation
Process work across retail, fundraising and care operations where things grew organically rather than by design.
Commercial governance
A simple contract register, notice dates in a calendar, and a clear view of who can commit the organisation to what.
Systems and process change
Choosing and implementing systems proportionate to the size of the organisation, not the size of the vendor.
