Supply Chain Coordination Limited is a company registered in England and Wales on 25 July 2017 to manage the new NHS Supply Chain operating model, adopting its current company name on 15 November 2017.[1] It was set up by the Department of Health and Social Care in 2018,[2] and was intended to save £2.4 billion within 4–5 years.[3] Consultants Ernst & Young were reportedly paid up to £20 million to help to establish the company.[4] Running costs for the financial year 2018/19 were £180 million, but costs are predicted to grow to £250 million in 2019/20 and to £260 million in 2020/21. This will be taken from the tariff payments to NHS trusts.[5]

The Secretary of State for Health and Social Care is the company's sole shareholder. Matt Hancock, then Secretary of State, set out in a letter dated 28 March 2019 the company's purpose, tasks, performance indicators, objectives, funding and governance.[6]

The company's first non-executive chair was Jim Spittle, and its CEO was Jin Sahota.[6] In September 2020, Sahota resigned.[7] Andrew New, the group director for purchasing and supply chain at JCB was appointed to succeed him in July 2021.[8]
