Healthcare Supplier Partners
We have found Health Trust Europe to be very responsive to supporting our firm and our clients. They are a great channel for clients in the health sector. They have a full set of major consulting firms as well as specialist health firms on the framework providing a competitive list of options. Further to this they provide flexible routes to procurement depending on client preference.

Carnall Farrar
Client Development and Bid Manager
We’ve worked with HealthTrust Europe since the creation of their Agency Frameworks, taking advantage of multiple category supply and more recently Permanent and International Recruitment. Since the introduction of NHSI Caps we’ve personally found HealthTrust Europe and the Contract Specialists commercially and realistically aligned to the challenges agencies and the NHS face.

MSI Group Ltd
ICT Solutions
One of the more important considerations for a sales company is the best interests of our customers. Our experience and more importantly our customer experience is that the procurement support they receive from the HTE Contract Management Team is impeccable. HTE are highly responsive (in terms of both: timeliness and support advice) to our customer needs, which undoubtedly stems from them seeing our customers as their customers.
Andy Bruen
Softcat
Public Sector Strategic Relationship Manager
Nottingham County Council chose HTE ComIT Framework for their Managed Print Services requirements as it offered a simple and cost effective route to market, financial benefits, quality of service and products that we required.
Ian Hardy
Nottingham County Council
Document Services Operations Manager
The ICT Solutions Framework Agreement T & Cs proved invaluable when an unexpected pricing, product and delivery dispute occurred during the implementation of a mini competition award with our trust IT project team. With HTE’s assistance and support I was able to ensure that even though an alternative product would be completing the remainder of our delivery, our pricing would remain firm. This meant that our critical IT project could continue at no extra cost to the trust.”

Pathology
The team at HealthTrust Europe are very knowledgeable and professional. Prior to the Project commencing, they took time to understand all aspects of my departmental needs and thus understood what was required to deliver a successful project. At all times they adopted a flexible approach in dealing with matters both with my team and myself.

HealthTrust Europe’s Pharmacy team work collaboratively with us in supporting our patients, helping us deliver the best benefits through the use of frameworks and their procurement expertise. The team are always there when you need them, they are very knowledgeable about their subject and I feel that we can ring them and they can ring me for advice and support at any time.
Steve Horton
Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust
IT Pharmacist
HealthTrust Europe were picked as they had a proven track record and experience of procurement on behalf of acute trusts. As procurement is a complex issue and the Trust did not have local experience HTE were able to support and guide the team through the process. They were available to provide the guidance and timescales in order to keep the process on track and deliver a successful outcome for the Trust.
Tracey Foss
Royal Devon & Exeter NHS Foundation Trust
Chief Pharmacist
Total Workforce Solutions
Prior to the regional collaboration the Trust was using excessive numbers of suppliers at variable rates. Not only has the collaborative reduced the number of suppliers but it has also reduced our agency costs and improved the quality of the locum medical staff. We have found the collective force of the Trusts working together as a powerful mechanism in reducing costs, sharing data and raising standards.
Andrew McMenemy
The Dudley Group NHS Foundation Trust
Director of Workforce & Organisational Development
Cheshire & Merseyside is one of the biggest STP’s in the country which includes a range of diverse NHS providers including Acute, Mental Health, Specialist and Community Trusts.
HealthTrust Europe was selected as their proposal met all the requirements specified by the Cluster. The support received from HealthTrust Europe to retender with so many Trusts in such a challenged market has been excellent. From start to finish, Demelza Leadbetter and Armand Wembakangu have been totally committed, and their knowledge and professionalism has been self-evident. The outcome has resulted in two contracts which now align and meet the collaborative, yet individual, needs of the Cluster.
Tracy Smith
Wirral Community Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust
Cheshire and Mersey Estates Procurement Lead
Hull & East Yorkshire NHS Trust has been working in partnership with HealthTrust Europe for a number of years. Their advice and guidance has been exceptional on every topic that we have consulted on with them. They assist with all aspects of the NHSI agency rules, operate the framework for our Direct Engagement model, advise on supply and financial issues and help to resolve disputes.
Sue Richards
Hull & East Yorkshire NHS Trust
Head of Workforce Transformation & Service Delivery
Health Trust Europe have been instrumental in the establishment of a West Midlands Regional Agency Collaborative Cluster. Health Trust Europe have facilitated and organised engagement between the member Trusts and the supply chain, which is a critical part of the programme. It is hoped that this increased collaborative approach will standardise and harmonise the Medical Locums market in our region.
Joanne Roberts
University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust
Deputy Associate Director – Procurement and Commercial Services (Procurement/Systems)
The Trust has adopted a robust yet transparent stance with the agencies that has led to improved administrative processes and procedures and reduced the rates towards the agency caps introduced by NHS Improvement. It is envisaged that this long-term partnership will enhance the purchasing power of all trusts and that further savings will be delivered in the future.
Steve Barrow
Warrington and Halton Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
Deputy Director of Finance
Warrington and Halton Hospitals has worked extensively with HealthTrust Europe (HTE) in establishing a Cheshire and Merseyside Collaborative Cluster approach to agency demand. HTE has been fundamental to the success of this on-going project providing category expertise and a consistent approach throughout which is very much viewed as a partnership. Without the support of HTE the project would not be at the stage it is at.
Alison Parker
Warrington and Halton Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
Associate Director of Procurement
The Trust has already started to see the benefits of taking a collaborative approach – engaging managers have better visibility of our preferred Agencies and greater clarity on the pricing thereby improving our framework compliance rate. By acting collectively in the region, we have successfully pushed back to ensure that rates are in step with the NHSI Cap Rates for all nursing and Medical Locum staff groups.
