Healthcare Partners
Empowering your procurement

Launched in 2018, Healthcare Partners Ltd (HPL) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust. Although we provide services to both the public and private sectors, we are unique in that all our profits are reinvested back into the Trust.

Faced with squeezed budgets and resources, many healthcare organisations are understandably struggling with their procurement needs. Our clinical procurement specialists have an in-depth knowledge of the NHS and the changing procurement landscape, enabling us to advise and assist in the delivery of procurement projects.

We have an extensive track record of delivering cost-improvement plans, but our procurement approach is much more than this. Our value-based approach delivers tangible, measurable financial benefits to the health system over and above a reduction in purchase price. We achieve this by reducing whole-level costs across the health system through transformation and innovative change.

Simply put, we take away the pain of procurement so that clinicians can focus on delivering better patient care.
