About the buyer

The Department of Health and Social Care sets health and social care policy for England, and buys as a central healthcare organisation through contracts tiered by value.

Much of this procurement flows through framework agreements and the Crown Commercial Service. Every contract carries a 30-day payment term under the Procurement Act 2023.

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 the Department of Health and Social Care's contract awards have been in business services, IT services and health and social work.
