About the buyer

Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust runs acute and specialist hospital care across Nottingham, and buys as a Healthcare provider with supplier invoices processed through NHS SBS. Five sites, including Queen's Medical Centre and Nottingham City Hospital, deliver the East Midlands Major Trauma Centre. Around 20,000 staff support patient care across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. Suppliers are paid under a no purchase order, no pay policy. The trust partners with Medilink East Midlands on the INSTILS programme to engage medtech suppliers.

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 Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust's contract awards have been in IT services, medical equipment and pharmaceuticals and software and information systems.
