About the buyer

NHS Shared Business Services, a joint venture with the Department of Health and Social Care, provides procurement services to the NHS and wider public sector as a central healthcare organisation. Tender opportunities are advertised on Find a Tender, the central digital platform and SAP Ariba. Suppliers register on both platforms to bid for a place on its framework agreements. Listing on a framework is free, with a nominal fee charged only on sales made through it. NHS bodies and the wider public sector call off from these frameworks under the Provider Selection Regime.

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 NHS Shared Business Services's contract awards have been in software and information systems, business services and IT services.
