NHS Procurement Report

The First Barrier to the Adoption of Innovation Products

Report Overview

The NHS is recognised internationally as a late adopter of innovative medical products and the first obstacle for suppliers is navigating the NHS Procurement Landscape.

This report, the result of 12 months of in-depth research, details the roles of each of the organisations in the English NHS procurement landscape and examines the criteria by which products are bought. It also looks at the changing NHS structure, the policies of commissioning and PbR and reflects on how these are likely to affect innovation adoption. A number of case studies also look at the ways in which innovative products can be taken up by the NHS.

Finally the report goes on to propose a route-map into the NHS for innovative products and suggests factors that should be considered early in the development phase to maximise the chances of uptake of a product.
