The NHS spends over £30 billion annually through procurement, with frameworks and open tenders shaping how suppliers engage. This doesn’t include main contracted services for acute and specialist care, which brings the total NHS spend to over £150 billion (based on 23/24 figures).
Understanding the tendering process, timelines and value-based evaluation is critical for any organisation aiming to contribute meaningfully to UK healthcare.
At Howbeck Healthcare, we’re proud to work alongside Federations, PCNs, individual practices, NHS Trusts and private providers to support engagement with NHS commissioning, grounded in compliance, quality, and social value.
This graphic offers a quick overview of spend and process. For those involved in healthcare bidding, it’s a reminder: success isn’t just about cost—it’s about clarity, credibility, and capability.
