Roche Products Ireland shortlisted for Best Procurement Social Value Award at National Procurement Awards 2025

Looking back to last year, Roche Products Ireland Ltd has been named a finalist for the Best Procurement Social Value Award at the National Procurement Awards 2025, shortlisted for its Patient Support Program designed specifically for multiple sclerosis patients receiving Ocrevus treatment. The nomination positions Roche as a leader in procurement-led social value delivery within Ireland's life sciences sector.

The Patient Support Program reflects Roche's commitment to extending the value of its procurement operations beyond commercial outcomes and into direct patient impact. Designed to support MS patients throughout their Ocrevus treatment journey, the programme provides structured, wraparound assistance that addresses the practical and clinical challenges patients face during long-term therapy. The initiative demonstrates how a procurement-aligned support model can deliver measurable improvements in patient experience and treatment adherence across a complex therapeutic area.

The programme stood out for its focus on placing patient outcomes at the centre of its procurement framework, reflecting the growing expectation that leading organisations align supply chain decisions with broader social and healthcare value.

The shortlisting reflects rising standards at the National Procurement Awards, where social value is increasingly recognised as a defining measure of procurement excellence alongside efficiency and cost performance. Roche's nomination reinforces the critical role pharmaceutical companies play in delivering patient-centred outcomes through strategic operational design.

With momentum building from the 2025 programme, attention turns to the 2026 awards cycle. Which organisations will raise the bar for social value in Irish procurement next year?
