Working together to support the NHS

Welcome to the NHS Supply Chain catalogue. We work with the NHS to make sure healthcare professionals have the supplies they need, when they need them.

We manage the sourcing, delivery and supply of healthcare products and services for the NHS trusts and other healthcare providers. Our goal is to make it easier for the NHS to deliver excellent patient care by providing a reliable, cost-effective, and high-quality supply chain.

Our strategy:

• Buying smart: Ensuring that every product that we make available is selected based on high quality data and decision making, is always safe and quality assured, comes from a resilient supply chain that has committed to ensuring labour standards and the environment are always front of mind.

• Delivering right: Those people who consume the products, whether a colleague or patient, can be confident that it will always be there. We can match the way we deliver to the place we deliver to, whether in a hospital, a community centre or a patients home and we always delivery efficiently.

• Partnering expertly By actively engaging, listening and understanding the needs of the consumer, we can ensure that we always buy smart and deliver right. We will invest in making our engagement as complete and transparent as possible, working together to drive the performance of the supply chain and meeting the needs of the healthcare family everyday.

How we work

We manage more than 8,000,000 orders a year, delivering thousands of products from trusted suppliers. Our work help NHS organisations focus on what they do best - caring for patients.

We also look for ways to create value for the NHS by making supply chain processes more efficient and reducing costs. This includes working with suppliers to get the best prices and supporting sustainable practices across the supply chain.
