National Health Service organisations can currently buy goods and services from many sources, within the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and national and local procurement policies and there is no single or definitive list of approved suppliers to the NHS.

Clinical commissioning groups may use any supplier where they are satisfied that the provider is supplying the goods or delivering the service to the required price and quality and therefore the requested information cannot be provided.
