Redefining Procurement in Healthcare: Applying Value-Based Procurement for Clinical and Commercial Gains

Rising costs, workforce pressure, and tighter outcome expectations are forcing healthcare providers to rethink procurement. The traditional focus on lowest-price tenders no longer meets the complex demands of modern health systems.

This paper introduces a value-based procurement (VBP) approach — one that aligns purchasing decisions with clinical impact, sustainability, and whole-system efficiency. Backed by NHS case studies and international frameworks, it offers a practical roadmap to implement VBP across categories, functions, and care pathways.

Whether you are a procurement leader, clinical executive, or operations manager, the insights here can help you build procurement models that unlock measurable gains across cost, time, and patient experience.
