Case Study
Stronger Together: A Procurement Partnership Delivering 25% Savings
We Believe in More collaborative solutions.
Working across three NHS Trusts, we created a strategic procurement alliance that replaced 36 suppliers with one sole supply solution. By consolidating their processes and streamlining procurement, we helped them cut costs, improve compliance, and make their communications more efficient.
The Challenge
The Trusts were struggling with:
-
Multiple suppliers creating inefficiency and high costs.
-
Limited visibility and control over spend.
-
Labour-intensive, outdated processes.
-
The need for brand and regulatory compliance across departments.
The Solution
We worked closely with stakeholders to deliver a single, compliant supply model supported by our HubTec platform and proactive account management. This included:
-
Consolidation of 36 suppliers into one trusted partner.
-
HubTec online ordering, giving over 1,000 users full visibility and control.
-
A compliant route to market through an approved framework.
-
Simplified workflows and templates to reduce manual effort.
-
Comprehensive management reporting for transparency.
The Results
-
25% reduction in costs across the three Trusts.
-
Faster, more efficient procurement processes.
-
Improved brand and document compliance.
-
Elimination of manual, time-consuming tasks.
-
Greater control and transparency through MI reporting.
“We wanted to implement a new print ordering system to over 1,000 users, which we understood was a large undertaking. However, SF Taylor took on the challenge with ease and improved our ordering system, communications and creative campaigns enormously. Our new way of working has been hugely successful and impacted our department in a really positive way, with SF Taylor providing all of the support”
