About the buyer

South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust is an NHS trust with its own procurement function, running hospital and community services across Warwickshire. The trust's Chief Finance Officer oversees procurement alongside financial strategy and information services. Four hospitals sit under the trust: Warwick, Stratford, Leamington Spa and Ellen Badger. Local services reach a population of more than half a million people. A Board of Directors and Council of Governors oversee its decisions. Since August 2022 the trust has carried University in its name, formalising ties with the University of Warwick.

UK health spending has nearly quadrupled to £241.8bn in 2024/25, £20bn up on the year before. £140.6bn of that went to procurement, the biggest sector of UK public spending and the fastest-growing.

Over the past 5 years, most of South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust's contract awards have been in business services, health and social work, and repair and maintenance.
