HQIP a finalist for three UK National Go Awards

Published: 07 Apr 2025

HQIP is delighted to be a finalist in three categories at the UK National Go Awards, taking place 21 May 2025: Best Procurement Team, Best Procurement Delivery, and Next Generation.

The awards ceremony celebrates the very best procurement achievements from across the UK’s public, private and third sector organisations.

The Best Procurement Team nomination recognises HQIP’s unique approach to value-based procurement, combining expertise in procurement, patient engagement and quality improvement. It also notes the support that HQIP’s procurement specialists offer to other organisations, helping them to improve the value and outcomes of their procurement.

The Best Procurement Delivery nomination focuses on the creation of the National Cancer Audit Collaborating Centre (NATCAN) to host all NHS national cancer audits. HQIP proposed an innovative umbrella approach to tendering, rather than commissioning individual projects.  NATCAN has made excellent progress in the two and a half years since the start of contract, enabling the NHS to identify and address areas of variation in patient care.

Jon Williams, Senior Procurement Manager at HQIP, is also a finalist in the Next Generation award category, recognising the tenacity and innovation that he has brought to his role since joining the organisation in 2021 and his commitment to social value.

Judith Hughes, Associate Director of Procurement at HQIP, comments: “I am proud that our thoughtful, value-based approach to procurement has been recognised by the Go Awards.

We believe that integrating patient input into procurement can be transformative in driving greater value across the supply chain. That’s why we embed patient voice not only through our own commissioning, but also support and inspire other healthcare organisations to do the same.”

Our specialist healthcare procurement team provide:

  • Expert consultancy and bespoke training to embed quality, value, and patient voice into procurement
  • Flexible resourcing, from needs definition to contract award
  • Stakeholder, patient, and supplier engagement to shape procurement strategies and improve outcomes
