Best Companies | NHS Supply Chain Company Profile

NHS Supply Chain makes it easier for the NHS to put patients first through its buy smart, supply right and partner expertly strategy.

NHS Supply Chain sources, delivers, and supplies healthcare products, services, and food for NHS trusts and healthcare organisations across England and Wales. By working in collaboration with the healthcare system and suppliers, the organisation helps the NHS to put patients first. It provides cost-efficient, resilient, clinically assured products that are responsive to frontline needs.

Its focus on the end-to-end patient pathway supports the healthcare system to:

1. Reduce treatment times

2. Decrease patient length of stay

3. Enable more care in community settings

4. Improve clinical outcomes

NHS Supply Chain is committed to delivering over £1 billion of value to the NHS by 2030. This will be achieved by working in collaboration with the NHS, national bodies, industry associations, suppliers, and NHS England.

The savings it delivers are defined by a broad value proposition focusing on supply chain resilience, product safety, enabling access to innovation, social value, sustainability, and ethical considerations.

The organisation has developed a comprehensive People Strategy to develop, empower, and engage our people to meet the needs of the NHS.

It has five key priorities:

1. An environment that people thrive in

2. Creating a positive people experience

3. Growing for the future

4. Supporting new ways of working

5. Excellence in people, practice, and data

The organisation is dedicated to making NHS Supply Chain a great place to work, where everyone can shine.
