Working with NHS Trusts
Driving fast and sustainable ‘in year’ savings
Proxima is a specialist procurement consultancy working with the public and private sectors to deliver economic and social value.
We help multiple central and local government departments and other public bodies with commercial programmes ranging from complex sourcing and cost reduction programmes to capability transformation. We understand the pressure public organisations are under, and provide expert capacity and capability to deliver change together – working side by side with your teams to deliver sustainable value, embed governance and cross-functional engagement, and adapt to new legislation.
Driving Procurement & Commercial Efficiency
Driving procurement and commercial efficiencies plays a key role in releasing capital from existing budgets to strengthen and future-proof the NHS.
The ambitions set out in the Fit for the Future: 10 Year Health Plan for England, moving care from hospital into the community, shifting from analogue to digital, and pivoting from sickness to prevention, also bring new challenges for NHS Procurement teams to align with and deliver.

CHANGE DELIVERED
AT PACE
With a proven track record of delivering change for NHS Trusts and the wider public sector, our specialist teams bring leading commercial acumen and market proximity to drive in-year savings to help hit targets and longer-term value.
Our teams understand how to apply value levers, realise financial gains, and sustain them by implementing the right frameworks and governance, and ensuring the trusts are set up for future success.
The impact isn’t limited to an improved financial position but extends to greater stakeholder engagement, cross-functional collaboration, ongoing efficiency improvements, capability builds, and greater commercial and contractual rigour.
‘Working with Proxima, delivered much more than savings – they helped us shift our function from gatekeeper to enabler’
