Probrand claims NHS spending win

VAR attributes NHS savings to e-procurement strategy

Written by Caroline Donnelly

VAR Probrand claims to have helped the NHS save £2m on the cost of USB devices.

The Birmingham-based VAR is the only reseller contracted to supply the NHS with Safestick USB devices.

The firm attributed the money its partnership has saved the NHS to its public sector-specific online shop, which it claims provides users with “cashable savings”.

Richard Hunter-Rice, sales manager at Probrand, said: “With the streamlined e-procurement approach we offer coupled with a department equipped to provide impartial guidance, the NHS is able to access the best priced products ahead of the spending review.”
