With £3.4 billion in untracked spend, NHS Trusts face rising costs and inefficiencies. Unified data turns waste into savings and insight.
Pain Points
The Challenge
NHS Trusts spend approximately £7.9 billion annually on medical equipment and consumables, yet £3.4 billion of this spend occurs outside framework contracts - representing significant untapped savings potential.
Key Pain Points
- Fragmented procurement data across multiple systems makes it difficult to identify cost-saving opportunities.
- Lack of spend visibility leads to product duplication and purchasing inefficiencies.
- Manual compliance checking creates administrative burden and delays.
- Inconsistent purchasing decisions across departments drive up costs.
- Price variations on identical items purchased by different departments.
Our Proven Impact
£35 Million in Savings Identified across 3 NHS Trusts over a 5-year projection through our Spend Analytics platform.
Where Savings Come From
High-Volume Purchases - Analysing thousands of transactions across food services, medical equipment, and essential supplies to uncover bulk purchasing opportunities and eliminate price variations.
Service Contracts - Reviewing IT infrastructure, facilities management, and medical equipment service agreements to identify renewal opportunities and negotiate better terms.
Contract Optimisation - 15-25% average improvement in supplier terms through intelligent negotiation and benchmarking.
Volume Consolidation - Significant reduction in unit costs through aggregated purchasing power across trusts.
The Opportunity
Research shows that by improving procurement practices and leveraging existing framework contracts more effectively, NHS organisations could save between £60-90 million annually.
Our Supplier Spend Analytics platform is designed to unlock these savings through unified data, intelligent automation, and real-time insights.
With £7.9 billion spent across NHS Trusts, up to £3.4 billion occurs off-contract — driving inefficiency and loss.
