The NHS is facing significant financial deficits, with the provider sector recording an overall deficit of £822 million in 2014-2015. Rising costs, particularly in non-pay expenditures such as agency staffing which costs around £5 billion, are putting pressure on trusts' budgets. Procurement represents a key area where savings can be achieved, but the current fragmented system results in inefficiencies. The NHS London Procurement Partnership aims to leverage collective influence over the £9 billion spent on goods and services to achieve better prices and savings for its members. Through collaborative frameworks and category management strategies, the partnership has delivered over £755 million in savings since 2006.
