The use of an e-auction platform by the University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust enabled the Lancashire and Cumbria region to deliver price reductions of around £400,000 – representing a 22% reduction on the £1.8m of spend. The trust – winner of this year’s HFMA Delivering Value with Digital Technology Award will be represented by Jim Collins and Angela Finley – achieved this against a backdrop of 10% inflationary pressures with positive feedback from all
parties and expected outcomes more than planned.
