About the buyer

NHS Property Services Ltd is a central government company owned by the Department of Health and Social Care, and buys only from approved suppliers. Around 3,000 NHS buildings across England sit in its portfolio. Suppliers register on the Proactis Supplier Network, its electronic tendering system, and receive automatic notifications when quotations are sought. Quotations are sought from a minimum of three suppliers wherever possible. Tenders above the sub-central government thresholds are published on the Find a Tender Service. Every purchase order and invoice passes through Tradeshift, the company's free billing platform, under a No PO, No Pay policy.

Procurement spend from central entities makes up 66% of overall UK public spend.

Over the past 5 years, most of NHS Property Services Ltd's contract awards have been in construction work, architectural and engineering services and business services.
