Case Study: Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust achieves £150,000 savings with Science Warehouse

Worcestershire Acute NHS Trust - Customer Case Study

Worcestershire Acute NHS Trust, which runs hospital services across Kidderminster, Redditch, and Worcester, faced a major procurement challenge managing a catalogue of more than 600,000 items. Its procurement team needed a better way to reduce administrative burden, improve purchasing control, and ensure products were bought through the most cost-effective supply routes. Science Warehouse provided an effective catalogue solution and managed catalogue service to support these goals.

Science Warehouse’s managed catalogue service gave Worcestershire Acute NHS Trust tighter controls over what could be purchased and improved visibility of spend across the Trust. By restricting users to selected suppliers and improving catalogue management and category coding, the Trust saved £150,000 within three months, while also helping deliver contractual compliance and cash-releasing savings.
