Contracts
HSV collective agreements
In partnership with Victoria's public health services, we establish agreements with suppliers for the products and services they need to provide patient care.
We group together supplier agreements into categories to form HSV collective agreements.
Health services purchase the products and services under HSV collective agreements, helping to maximise value for Victoria's health system through collective buying power and supply chain surety.
HSV collective agreements cover medical consumables, pharmaceuticals, medical equipment and non-medical products and services such as uniforms, security, clinical waste management and catering.

Purchasing from HSV collective agreements
Mandated health services
Victorian public health services listed in Schedules 1 or 5 of the Health Services Act, 1988 (Vic) are referred to as mandated health services.
Mandated health services are legally obligated to use HSV collective agreements to purchase the goods and services the agreements cover.
Mandated health services are also required to comply with the requirements of the HSV Purchasing Policies.
Conversely, 'eligible services' can access HSV collective agreements optionally.
