Highlights

  • Aggregation of spend across the public sector, increasing buying power and enabling improved value for money in line with HM Treasury requirements.
  • Improved cashable savings for the NHS and wider public sector through commercial leverage and standardised pricing.
  • Reduced duplication of effort by avoiding multiple, parallel procurement exercises across organisations.
  • Shorter procurement timescales, benefiting both contracting authorities and suppliers.
  • More efficient use of internal resources, allowing organisations to focus on delivery rather than repeated tendering activity.
  • Stronger strategic relationships with key suppliers, supporting cost reduction, performance improvement, and innovation.
  • Improved alignment with public sector priorities, including NHS digital transformation and local government objectives.
