About Us

Proud members of the NHS family and market leaders in our field, we provide finance and accounting, digital, procurement, workforce, and bespoke support to more than half the NHS in England.

Established in 2004 by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) in a unique partnership with digital experts Sopra Steria, our services increase efficiency and quality, save money, and make life easier for NHS employees and suppliers, enabling better patient care.

Our unique joint venture means we reinvest a high percentage of revenue back into our services, allowing us to make significant capital investments at scale and at our own risk. Put simply, we invest so our clients don’t have to.

Across the organisation, we’re dedicated to helping the NHS front line. But how we do that varies. Take a look at our new publication, Highlights of a Year Supporting the NHS to find out more about what we’ve collectively achieved. We know that saving money saves lives, and whether we’re equipping unique a unique new trauma hospital in Manchester or pioneering innovative procurement and finance services, we’re helping the NHS and the patients it serves.”

We want to be an organisation where women are empowered to succeed and progress their careers. That’s why we’re committed to being an open and inclusive business where everyone can fulfil their potential and make the most of their talents. In 2023, we were proud to be ranked as a ‘best workplace for women’ by Great Place to Work (GPTW) and in 2024 we plan to do even more to be a workplace where everyone can thrive.

Drawing on our knowledge of working across the NHS for over 20 years, our collaborative approach means we work in close partnership with clients to develop solutions which are individually tailored and fit for purpose.

The support we provide to the NHS – when and where our clients need it most – demonstrates our resilience and reliability, and has created a robust platform for a new era of co-designed services and solutions.

Our dedicated teams ensure customer satisfaction and every client is assigned a Client Manager to provide day-to-day support.

We host regular Client User Forums regionally and nationally, for clients to share best practice, discuss issues, feed back to us and help shape our priorities.

We’re transforming our current multiple delivery pathways into one intelligent, interconnected ecosystem that meets the ever-changing needs of the NHS in the digital world.

Offering a seamless experience with a single sign-on, our modular solutions will enable NHS organisations and suppliers to access the services they need, when they need them.

Whether that’s compliantly requisitioning goods via a consumer-style marketplace, paying employees and suppliers or tendering for a multi-million pound project, the support you need will be available to draw down on demand, via a single frictionless portal.
