In no other industry is the reward for ‘doing things better’ greater than in the NHS, where budgets are squeezed and every penny saved going towards improving the patient experience, providing vital services and life-saving care.
eXceeding offers invaluable support to NHS procurement teams, providing both expertise and additional capacity to bolster internal resources, particularly during times of knowledge gaps or resource constraints.
The eXceeding team were initially recommended to us to assist us with a contract exit negotiation strategy from our long-term outsourcer. It soon became apparent that the Trust required an experienced transition team. We asked eXceeding to fulfil that gap. They provided a team of experienced professionals which ramped up and down as the project ebbed and flowed, providing us with a highly flexible resource model. The project was a huge success and was delivered on time and within budget.
Healthcare spending has increased nearly every year since the NHS was established, with around £155.1 billion a year allocated to NHS England for spending on health services.
From new building projects to essential day-to-day facilities services, as well as vital information technology systems, purchasing clinical goods and corporate works and services within the sector comes with complex challenges and requires specialist knowledge.
As the Procurement Act regulations loom, our assistance becomes even more crucial, helping organisations not only prepare for the changes but also identify opportunities and implement necessary adjustments.
By collaborating with eXceeding, clients benefit from unparalleled confidentiality standards. With triple ISO accreditation and Cyber Essentials certification, we ensure the utmost security and confidentiality of your data and information.
Furthermore, accessing our services through the NHS SBS Consultancy and Advisory Service of Health Framework Agreement streamlines the process, granting direct award access. This means you gain access to our best practice toolsets, a dedicated delivery team, and extensive category knowledge, all backed by pre-qualification and approval, providing peace of mind and simplifying the procurement journey.

At eXceeding, we’re here to help NHS clients do things better: to save time, resources, provide value for money, and deliver better results. Having worked extensively with a number of NHS organisations and the wider public sector, we have seen the challenges and frustrations experienced by procurement and category professionals and helped to solve them.
Take, for example, our work with Cambridge University Hospitals Trust where we focused on transitioning their outsourced IT contract to a new service provider. Through this project alone, we have generated cost savings of more than £4 million annually, which will be put back into the fantastic work the Trust does for its patients.
