Case Study: Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust saves £150,000 in three months with Advanced Catalogue Management

Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust saves £150,000 in three months

Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust, an NHS provider serving three sites and managing a large medical and surgical spend, was struggling with the heavy administrative burden of cataloguing over 600,000 items. The Trust needed a better way to help requisitioners place orders, standardise discretionary expenditure, and ensure purchases were routed through the most cost-effective suppliers. Advanced provided its Catalogue Management solution to address these challenges.

Advanced’s Catalogue Management service reduced the procurement team’s administrative workload, improved spend visibility, and tightened controls over which products could be bought from selected suppliers. As a result, Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust saved £150,000 in just three months and strengthened contractual compliance and cash-releasing savings.
