The NHS Purchasing and Supply Agency is an executive agency of the Department of Health (DH) in the United Kingdom.
The purchasing arm of the National Health Service in England, it has main offices in Chester and Reading. The Agency is self-funding in that it does not charge either suppliers or customers.
None of the Agency's contracts is mandatory, although until mid-2006 there was an increasing tendency to insist on their use; especially for NHS trusts who were in sufficient financial distress to have turn-around teams installed by the DH.
