About NHS London Procurement Partnership
NHS London Procurement Partnership (NHS LPP) is one of four national procurement hubs serving the health community in London and beyond. Our members and customers extend across the acute, community and mental health sectors, as well as primary care and clinical commissioning.
Our purpose
We have been serving the health community in London for over 17 years to achieve better patient care through efficient and sustainable procurement products - including frameworks and efficiency initiatives - and best practices. Our categories span Clinical Digital Solutions, Estates, Facilities, and Corporate Services, Healthcare and Pharmacy Services, and Workforce. As a Cabinet Office and NHS England accredited framework provider, our clinically assured frameworks support end-to-end procurement with low Activity Based Income (ABI) costs.
We are also a national consultancy partner for NHS trusts and ICBs, NHS England and other healthcare organisations, providing key commercial services and support in procurement. Our Professional Services, delivered at national, regional and local level, are underpinned with commercial acumen, category expertise and well-established health sector knowledge and experience.
We are uniquely owned collectively by all our members, as opposed to one organisation. This gives our members the benefit of equal status and input into our vision, structure, products and services through a series of membership forums and the governance of a member-led Steering Board.
We are funded through Activity Based Income, consultancy and membership fees. As a not-for-profit NHS organisation, once our overheads are covered, any surplus from our revenue-generating activities is reinvested back into the NHS or returned to our
members.
NHS LPP is hosted by Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust (GSTT), providing additional governance and importantly, enabling us to stay close to patients and users of our services.
