Congratulations to Hewlett Packard Enterprise on winning the #Philips Supplier of the Year Award 2026 in the category Resilience.   It was a pleasure to present this award to Phil Cutrone and Ted Stone at our 2026 Supplier Connect Day in Cambridge last week, in recognition of the outstanding strategic supplier relationship between HPE and Philips.   Resilience is about much more than navigating challenges: it is about consistently delivering when it matters most. Despite challenging market conditions, HPE has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to Philips by providing incremental flexibility, helping us to maintain continuity for our customers and their patients. Equally important is HPE’s account management team whose collaboration, responsiveness, and customer focus exemplify what a strong strategic supplier relationship looks like.   At Philips, our purpose is to deliver better care for more people. Achieving that ambition requires resilient and trusted partners who help us navigate uncertainty while ensuring continuity of supply and service. #HPE has consistently demonstrated these qualities, making a meaningful contribution to our shared success.   Thank you, HPE, for your partnership, commitment, and continued support. We look forward to building on this success together. #BeTheBenchmark #Philips #Procurement #StrategicPartners #HPE
