BHTA members involved in NHS tenders are encouraged to take part in a Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) industry readiness survey on value-based procurement (VBP).
This survey provides an opportunity for companies across the health technology sector to share their perspectives and help shape how VBP is implemented across the NHS in England.
Value-based procurement shifts the focus from reducing product costs to delivering better outcomes and lowering total costs across the patient pathway.
NHS Supply Chain is working with the NHS and industry to apply this approach in practice, aiming to improve efficiency, reduce waste, and deliver measurable benefits such as increased productivity, reduced infection rates, and improved patient outcomes.
The approach also supports closer collaboration between suppliers, procurement teams, and healthcare providers, with a focus on delivering long-term value to the health system.
More information on VBP can be found in this BHTA article.
DHSC has developed national VBP standard guidance, currently being piloted by 13 NHS Trusts, with publication expected in summer 2026.
The survey has been designed to assess industry readiness and understand organisational attitudes towards VBP. Findings will inform DHSC’s implementation plans and support the transition to value-based approaches across the NHS.
It asks organisations to provide:
Responses are confidential and will not be shared with third parties.
Relevant members are encouraged to submit a response before the deadline via the value-based procurement survey.
Members involved in NHS tenders or expecting to be impacted by changes to procurement frameworks are particularly encouraged to participate.
