GIANT exists to facilitate better procurement of tech, innovation in healthcare.

The National Health Service (NHS) in the United Kingdom faces several challenges when it comes to procurement. Some of these include:

  1. Limited budgets: The NHS operates with tight budgets, which can limit the amount of money available for procurement.
  2. Complex regulations: The NHS is subject to a complex set of regulations, including EU procurement rules, which can make the procurement process more difficult.
  3. Lack of standardization: There is a lack of standardization in the procurement process across different NHS organizations, which can make it difficult for suppliers to understand the requirements of different organizations
  4. Limited supplier base: The NHS often relies on a limited number of suppliers, which can limit competition and increase prices.
  5. Long procurement cycles: The procurement process for the NHS can be slow, with long lead times for procurement and delivery of goods and services.
  6. Limited use of technology: The NHS has been slow to adopt modern procurement technologies, such as e-procurement systems, which can make the procurement process more efficient.
  7. Lack of transparency and accountability: The lack of transparency and accountability in the procurement process can make it difficult for stakeholders to understand how decisions are being made and who is responsible for them.
  8. Difficulty in measuring and evaluating performance: Measuring and evaluating the performance of suppliers is a challenge for the NHS, which can make it difficult to identify and address issues with suppliers.
