Much of this procurement flows through framework agreements and the Crown Commercial Service. The Trust hosts the East of England NHS Collaborative Procurement Hub. Procurement specialists, market experts and data analysts staff the hub for NHS organisations region-wide. Joint consortia contracts cover waste, enteral feeding and laundry services with neighbouring trusts.
