NHS Shared Business Services

NHS Shared Business Services (NHS SBS) was created in 2004 by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) to deliver corporate services to the NHS. A unique joint venture with Sopra Steria, a European leader in digital services and software development, we make life easier for NHS employees, patients and suppliers, and deliver value for money to the taxpayer. Proud members of the NHS family, we provide finance & accounting, procurement and workforce services to more than half the NHS in England. Co-created with and for those who use them, our shared solutions are informed by big data and powered by cutting-edge technologies, delivering efficiency, effectiveness and resilience at levels unachievable for organisations working alone. Our partnership approach to every project is underpinned by our teams' expertise, in-depth understanding of the NHS, and commitment to service excellence. We share common values and unity of purpose with the rest of the NHS family, and our employees are empowered to question, test, and solve the challenges the NHS faces as it transforms to meet the needs of the 21st century.
