In this session, Jo will share her ongoing research findings on value-based procurement (VBP) in the UK, drawing on evidence from the NHS and social housing. VBP is a concept that is universally accepted, and the common assumption is that this how public organisations already buy. And yet, the evidence suggests that it is not widely adopted, and despite agreeing with its principles, buying organisations struggle to adopt VBP. Jo will share the evidence from her research to give insight into why, and the key barriers commonly faced. Critical evidence from where is has been used provide further understanding into the adaptations required by a range of stakeholders. The talk will be of benefit to buyers, sellers, healthcare leaders, and policy makers looking to develop value-based approaches.
