About Us 

BSW Acute Hospital Alliance Procurement Service is a collaborative procurement shared service providing Sourcing, Transactions and Operations, Supply Chain and Capital Project expertise to the Acute and Community Health Care Providers in Bath, Salisbury, Swindon and North East Somerset and Wiltshire.

All our teams are outward facing and integrated in to the operational and management structures within the Acute Hospitals, playing a pivotal role in buying a range of goods, services and works contracts, as well as leading and supporting on tendering requirements, robust contract management, data analytics and much more.

Working for organisations with over 15,000 employees across the Acute Hospital setting and many more in the Community, we are proud to be working alongside our colleagues to:

• Deliver value through economies of scale.
• Support the removal of unwarranted variation from clinical and non-clinical practices with the aim of developing and delivering a standard way of working.
• Embody collaborative thinking through the sharing of knowledge, experience and data to drive better commercial and operational outcomes.
• Embrace innovation, technological and operational transformation to ensure our patients have access to the best facilities, goods and services. 
• Support compliance with purchase-to-pay processes.
