About the buyer

Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust runs Queen Elizabeth Hospital and community services as an NHS trust in the North East. A dedicated Head of Procurement leads the buying team. Suppliers register through the NHS Sourcing Portal for current goods and services requirements. QE Facilities Limited, the Trust's wholly owned subsidiary since 2014, delivers procurement alongside estates and transport services. The procurement team also handles contracting, leasing and maintenance. Gateshead Health partners in the Great North Healthcare Alliance with NHS trusts in Newcastle, Northumbria and North Cumbria.

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 Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust's contract awards have been in repair and maintenance, medical equipment and pharmaceuticals and health and social work.
