KFM is proud to announce that it has been shortlisted as a finalist in two categories at the 2025 Health Care Supply Association (HCSA) Awards: a national celebration of excellence and innovation in healthcare procurement and supply chain.

Each year, HCSA Annual Awards recognise outstanding contributions from individuals and teams driving improvement, efficiency, and value across the NHS.

KFM’s shortlisted projects highlight the organisation’s leadership in both operational transformation and socially responsible procurement:

Logistics and Supply Chain Excellence Award:
‘KFM Supply Chain Excellence: From Back Office to Bedside’ recognises the outstanding work and collaborative efforts between KFM and King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust in transforming operational performance, improving patient outcomes, and setting new standards for efficiency and collaboration.

Sustainability and/or Social Value Excellence Award:
‘KFM Procurement with Purpose: Embedding Social Value into Healthcare’ celebrates how KFM is embedding sustainability and social value into every aspect of its work; from smarter procurement and digital innovation to meaningful community engagement and education initiatives.

Preeya Bailie, Managing Director at KFM, said: “Being shortlisted for two national HCSA Awards is a fantastic achievement and a testament to the incredible work happening across KFM and King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.

These nominations recognise how our teams are delivering real, measurable impact: from improving the efficiency and resilience of our supply chain to embedding sustainability and social value in everything we do. I’m immensely proud of the innovation, collaboration, and commitment that our colleagues demonstrate every day. This recognition reflects not just excellence in our services, but our shared purpose to support better care for patients and communities.”
