About the buyer

Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust runs hospital and community services across Buckinghamshire, and buys as an NHS trust with its own procurement team. Every tender is advertised on Atamis, the Trust's e-tendering system, and supplier registration is free. Some opportunities also appear on Gov.UK's Contracts Finder. A valid purchase order and signed contract are required before any supplier can invoice the Trust. Contract signing follows the scheme of delegation set out in the Trust's Standing Financial Instructions. The Head of Procurement oversees supplier trials, equipment testing and compliance across the organisation.

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 Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust's contract awards have been in construction work, IT services and software and information systems.
