National Briefing: Who will be buying what for the NHS in 2026
Efforts to establish and expand shared procurement teams across multiple trusts remain slow, while integrated care boards are declining in importance. The Department of Health’s MedTech directorate, NICE, and NHS Supply Chain are driving national reforms to NHS purchasing. NHS Supply Chain has received significant investment to improve performance, and New Procurement Act regulations are taking time to bed in.

The new cluster joint board will have just four executives, with CHC and primary care development transferred out and providers chosen to lead primary and community care development, while the ICB is not keen on vertical integration. It will strengthen the role of joint place committees, hopes consolidation will strengthen mental health providers, will remove funding support from acute providers and expect them to fill the gap through increased productivity, and aims to improve emergency care performance by expanding community-based services.
East and North Hertfordshire Teaching NHS Trust
A well-performing acute provider with strong leadership has ambitions to play a wider role in its local health economy and is making bold investments in new technology, but faces increasing financial constraints in 2026/27, with audiology identified as an area of concern. As a well-performing trust with strong and stable leadership, ENHT is able to operate independently and without significant direction by regional or national bodies.
