Working with the NHS

We are proud to work in partnership with over 90 NHS Trusts across the UK, supporting the development of procurement and supply chain professionals at every stage of their careers. 

We’ve been working with the NHS since 2009, and over the years, we’ve seen first-hand how powerful effective training can be, with many of our learners progressing from junior roles such as Procurement Assistant, Buyer and Inventory/Logisitics Assistant right through to Category Buyers, Contracts Manager, Procurement Analyst, Supplier Relationship Manager through to senior leadership, including Heads of Procurement, Procurement Directors and CPO’s. 

Tailored Training for NHS Challenges

We take the time to understand the challenges and priorities faced by NHS procurement teams, and we use this insight to ensure that our training is practical, hands-on, and directly aligned with NHS objectives. Our programmes are designed to reflect real-world NHS contexts, helping learners build the skills and confidence needed to make an immediate impact. 

We embed key NHS priorities into our training, including:

  • Supply chain resilience and risk management 
  • Standardisation of products and services to drive efficiency and reduce duplication 
  • Supplier relationship management (SRM) to improve value and collaboration 
  • Inventory and stock control management to improve service delivery and reduce waste 

Whether through CIPS-accredited courses, Procurement and Supply Chain Apprenticeships or bespoke in-house programmes, these priorities are not just taught they are lived and applied through real case studies, NHS-specific scenarios, and practical activities. 

Frameworks and Events: Staying Engaged

We are an approved supplier on the NHS SBS (Shared Business Services) Framework, as well as other national and regional procurement frameworks. Please contact us to find out more or check your preferred procurement route. 

As part of our ongoing commitment to the NHS procurement community, we are regular attendees and supporters of key events, including Procurex, HCSA (Health Care Supply Association), Procurement Live, and other regional and national NHS forums. These engagements keep us closely connected with current priorities and emerging trends, ensuring our training remains relevant and future-focused. 

Above all, we are passionate about supporting capacity building and skills development across the NHS procurement and supply chain workforce. Whether you’re looking to upskill teams, strengthen leadership capability, or create a culture of continuous improvement, we are proud to stand alongside the NHS as a trusted training partner.

Bethanie Stimpson

Progress Mentor

Bethanie began her career in the fitness industry, working as a personal trainer and gym instructor before becoming involved in coaching children through a triathlon club. This experience sparked her passion for working with young people and ultimately led her into a career in education. She initially worked in a nursery and later as a one-to-one teaching assistant in a primary school, before completing her teaching qualification and postgraduate studies. Since then, Bethanie has taught in both the private and state education sectors.

Her academic background includes a qualification in Sports Development, Fitness and Coaching at college, alongside a Childhood & Youth undergraduate degree (2:1). These studies have enabled her to combine her interests in sport, education, and child development, shaping her holistic approach to teaching and mentoring.

Bethanie is passionate about supporting learners to achieve their goals — educationally, personally, and in terms of wellbeing. She places strong emphasis on communication and relationship building, and takes great pride in helping individuals build confidence and overcome challenges. One of her proudest achievements has been supporting learners who initially doubted themselves to grow in confidence and achieve success.

Outside of work, Bethanie has always maintained a strong interest in sport. She previously competed in triathlons and now focuses on running and swimming. In 2023, she completed the London Marathon — an achievement she is particularly proud of. She also enjoys spending time outdoors with her family and their two dogs, which is where she is happiest when not working.
