Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has been named by the Health Secretary as among the best NHS performers for negotiating prices for healthcare supplies.
The Trust has said it has saved over £2 million in the last two years by improving the way it buys goods and services.
Instead of using the traditional NHS supply chain route, it works with Bunzl Healthcare to source most of the clinical and general goods it needs every day. The Trust claims it negotiates directly with suppliers and Bunzl to make sure it is getting the best prices and overall value for money.
