About the buyer

The Trust hosts SmartTogether, a shared procurement service and supplier portal covering NHS trusts across south east London. Guy's & St Thomas' also hosts the NHS London Procurement Partnership, giving procurement advice and support to fellow NHS providers.

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 Guy's & St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust's contract awards have been in architectural and engineering services, construction work and repair and maintenance.
