Luach Consulting Group - Value Base Healthcare & Procurement Consultancy


Bridging Healthcare and Industry

Through Value

Luach Consulting Group works with NHS and international health systems adopting value-based procurement, and with the medtech and pharma companies who need to demonstrate value to win in those markets. We understand both sides — because we helped build the system.

Welcome To Luach Consulting Group

Luach Consulting Group is the bridge between health systems and industry on value-based healthcare and procurement. We work with NHS trusts, national health services, and international health systems to design and adopt value-based approaches to procurement. And we work with medtech and pharmaceutical companies to help them demonstrate value in the language that health systems and procurement teams actually respond to. The reason we can do both is simple: our founder, Brian Mangan FCIPS, designed and led the first at-scale Value-Based Procurement programme across the English NHS. He built the frameworks that procurement teams use — and now he helps industry navigate them.


Trusted by clients from the top 20 largest global medtech companies and by national health systems across seven markets. Led by Brian Mangan FCIPS — founder member of the Global Society for Value-Based Healthcare and architect of the first at-scale VBP programme across the English NHS.


“Luach” (pronounced loo‑och), the Irish word for value, reflects both our heritage and our commitment to strengthening healthcare performance through better alignment, better collaboration and better decision-making.


Aligning healthcare and industry to create value


We help healthcare systems and suppliers work together more effectively by reducing barriers, aligning priorities, and ensuring that evidence, innovation and real‑world needs come together to create measurable value. Our expertise spans procurement, strategy, commercial analysis and legal frameworks — enabling us to support organisations from early design through to implementation and sustainability.


Through our integrated services, we support clients to build value‑based approaches that last:
