As per the terms of the newly signed agreement, whose financial impact remains undisclosed, AllSpire Health GPO members will fully leverage Premier’s national contract portfolio.
Premier’s support extends to the regional contract portfolio for AllSpire, focusing on local market dynamics to ensure optimal value and service.
This approach reflects a tailored strategy to meet the specific needs of AllSpire’s member hospitals.

These technological solutions are expected to streamline operations for healthcare providers and suppliers alike.
Furthermore, AllSpire members will benefit from Premier’s dedicated sourcing and contracting experts.
These specialists will identify cost-saving opportunities and foster supply chain innovation.
The expertise provided by Premier aims to enhance the operational efficiency of AllSpire’s member organisations significantly.
Premier chief commercial officer Andy Brailo said: “Premier’s comprehensive supply chain management services and AI-enabled technology suite will help AllSpire members thrive in today’s and tomorrow’s healthcare environment – enabling them to streamline operations, drive performance improvement and manage supply chain costs all in one place.
“Premier prides itself on our ability to co-innovate with members, and this partnership speaks volumes about the confidence we’ve built and the real-world results we can deliver.”
