The adoption of apps has already been proven to reduce GP visits, prevent costly trips to A&E, lower usage of prescription drugs and to help close the population health inequalities, delivering both direct and indirect savings and benefits.
The proposed approach will deliver the following benefits:
-
Aggregation of spend across the public sector, increasing buying power and enabling improved value for money in line with HM Treasury requirements.
-
Improved cashable savings for the NHS and wider public sector through commercial leverage and standardised pricing.
-
Reduced duplication of effort by avoiding multiple, parallel procurement exercises across organisations.
-
Shorter procurement timescales, benefiting both contracting authorities and suppliers.
-
More efficient use of internal resources, allowing organisations to focus on delivery rather than repeated tendering activity.
-
Stronger strategic relationships with key suppliers, supporting cost reduction, performance improvement, and innovation.
-
Improved alignment with public sector priorities, including NHS digital transformation and local government objectives.
