CPP is a service provider to NHS Supply Chain
We provide two contracts within the NHS Supply Chain Operating Model.
We are responsible for the procurement and contracts that allow the NHS to buy the products it needs for hospitals, ambulance trusts and community health services, including mental health services. We put the contracts in place that ensures the NHS has the right equipment, products and services at the right price and the right quality for individual trusts or groups of trusts.
We also provide business analytics to support opportunity analysis for NHS trusts. By comparing the numbers on their existing spending on medical equipment, products and services we can offer trusts the best deals and savings opportunities from the contracts we have negotiated.
That requires a collaborative approach to get the best outcomes for patients and savings for trusts.
Our clinical teams work with their counterparts in trusts to make sure that any medical equipment or products we bring on board have been clinically assured, which means they deliver the highest patient safety standards, while meeting the specification requirements of clinicians to support them in carrying out their jobs efficiently.
We also work with our partners across the NHS Supply Chain model so that trusts receive a one-stop service from ordering through to delivery. CPP is a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) company and was set up in April 2018. As a responsible company keen to play our part in the community we operate to a range of agreed policies.
Our values
Everything we do is governed by the CPP Values that were developed by our staff. We are very proud that our staff played a significant role in the development of the CPP Values, as their input has driven belief in the values that they own and in turn we all live on a daily basis.

This means that instead of paying shareholders we reinvest money into community health services.
