Commercial Delivery Partner Services
We understand the different challenges organisations face surrounding procurement requirements and that each will be focused on specific, key objectives depending on current processes and systems, as well as the appetite for change.
As your Commercial Delivery Partner, we can provide tailored, flexible procurement support to meet your specific requirements within the wider commercial support and strategic procurement space, whether you are a Trust, Integrated Care Board or Integrated Care System.
Our team, comprised of experienced procurement professionals who consistently receive excellent stakeholder feedback (NPS scores of 9 and 10), effectively act as an extension of your in-house procurement teams to enable you to address your key priorities.
Our flexible range of procurement services cover anything from a bespoke procurement need to a complete integrated procurement function, allowing customers to tailor their support needs and choose the most relevant service option to fit with their current and longer term procurement strategy.
“NHS Greater Manchester has worked closely with NHS SBS to develop our Provider Procurement Collaborative agenda. Our 9 Trusts Collaborative has required a flexible and agile approach from NHS SBS with their willingness to deploy resources to support savings delivery. The relationship has been open and transparent with a commitment to shared learnings as we have navigated the challenges of aggregated procurement for 9 independent Trusts. NHS SBS have been easy to work with; enthusiastic and professional.”

“NHS SBS has worked closely with our ICB providing specialist procurement advice and delivery support for a critical service contract. The knowledge, dedication and service quality from the team has been excellent, giving full confidence in us achieving an optimal and compliant outcome. NHS SBS has also provided us with crucial advice and training to help prepare for the Provider Selection Regime. I would not hesitate to recommend NHS SBS as a strategic procurement partner.”
