Case Study: Wirral University Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust improves procurement performance and saves £60K with Advanced

Wirral University Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust - Customer Case Study

Wirral University Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, one of the largest acute trusts in the North West of England, was facing a heavy procurement burden from catalogue management and difficulty comparing ad-hoc spend with NHS Supply Chain. With limited internal capacity to expand its catalogue suite and meet Carter Metrics targets, the Trust turned to Advanced for an eCatalogue solution.

Advanced implemented a catalogue management service that cleaned and analyzed spend data, standardized ad-hoc purchasing, and expanded the Trust’s eCatalogues. As a result, WUTH exceeded the 90% Carter Metric target for electronic addressable spend, identified over £60K in potential savings from supply route changes, and saved around £17,000 per year in staffing costs by using Advanced instead of hiring an internal eCatalogue manager.
