About the buyer

Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is an NHS trust serving Sheffield, South Yorkshire and beyond, with over 18,500 staff. The Trust's Procurement Department also manages procurement and logistics for Sheffield Children's NHS Foundation Trust. Most contracts are placed through national NHS procurement frameworks. Where a framework route isn't available, tenders are advertised through the Atamis supplier registration portal. Regional buying power is pooled through the South Yorkshire Integrated Care System Procurement Collaborative. The Trust is also a member of the Shelford Group of NHS teaching hospitals.

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 Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust's contract awards have been in repair and maintenance, health and social work, and medical equipment and pharmaceuticals.
