About the buyer

Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust is an NHS trust with its own procurement team of more than 100 staff, covering contracting, logistics and supplier relationships. Every tender is advertised on Atamis, the NHS's shared e-commercial system, alongside Find a Tender and Contracts Finder. NHS Supply Chain supplies goods and services through its national contracts. Procurement handles all non-pay spend across the Trust, excluding pharmacy. The Trust buys jointly with five Yorkshire trusts through the West Yorkshire Association of Acute Trusts.

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 Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust's contract awards have been in medical equipment and pharmaceuticals, repair and maintenance and construction work.
