Vivecti Group: becoming the go-to performance partner for healthcare facilities across Europe

Vivecti Group delivers tech-enabled procurement, management and advisory services for healthcare organisations. By focusing on efficiency and financial transparency, Vivecti helps both healthcare providers and suppliers achieve substantial cost savings and resilience.

Today, Vivecti is one of Europe’s largest independent purchasing organisations, creating a significant positive impact on both sustainability and operational performance.

Strategic growth under Nordic Capital’s ownership

When Nordic Capital invested in the Germany-based group (then known as Prospitalia) in July 2018, the goal was clear: to support, in close partnership with management, the reinforcement of Vivecti’s position as the performance partner of choice for hospitals, care facilities, practices and healthcare suppliers.

Nordic Capital’s strategy, leveraging its subsector expertise as well as functional and operational knowledge, focused on expanding the group’s product and service portfolio, deepening partnerships, and further enhancing its capabilities.

Since then, Vivecti has delivered significant growth:

• Revenue has risen from EUR 55mn in 2018 to EUR 145mn in 2024
• Headcount has expanded from c.190 to c.550 over the same period
• The Group now serves over 4,000 healthcare customers and 1,500 supplier customers globally, with a consolidated purchasing volume of EUR 3.3 billion
  
  

A united brand pioneering efficiency, transparency and value

In 2023, Vivecti unified its operations under a single brand, demonstrating a holistic, integrated approach to supporting healthcare clients. This rebranding reflected the group’s ambition to be a full-service partner for hospitals and adjacent healthcare fields.

At the same time, Dr. Benjamin I. Behar was appointed CEO, bringing deep expertise in hospital management and a passion for connecting economic efficiency with medical quality. Under his leadership, Vivecti has shifted towards an integrated digital platform, fostering closer partnerships, cross-selling opportunities, and scalability across its three business segments: tech-enabled procurement, management services and advisory services.

Expanding capabilities through acquisitions

Over recent years, Vivecti has actively pursued a series of selective, value-adding tuck-in acquisitions to broaden its platform and deepen its expertise. For example, in 2025, the Group took another step by acquiring CoSolvia, a specialist in optimising hospital equipment and efficiency. This acquisition illustrates Vivecti’s strategy of enhancing its service offering and reinforcing its commitment to sustainable improvements in cost-effectiveness and quality in healthcare.

Under Nordic Capital’s ownership, Vivecti has continued to drive value through expanding tech-enabled services, targeted M&A and an ambitious digitisation strategy. The introduction of a digital advisory hub has improved transparency and value for customers, and a growing share of Vivecti’s revenue now comes from clients engaging with multiple Vivecti entities.

Nordic Capital’s vision for healthcare

Vivecti operates in a robust healthcare market, addressing a procurement segment expected to grow significantly in the years ahead. As costs rise, populations age and digitisation accelerate, Vivecti’s services will be essential for hospitals seeking cost efficiency, supply chain security and operational resilience while meeting the needs of a changing healthcare landscape.

As one of the world’s most experienced healthcare investors, Nordic Capital seeks out forward-thinking businesses that enhance access, efficiency and quality of care. Nordic Capital’s focus on innovation, patient outcomes and sustainable growth aligns well with Vivecti’s vision.

With steadfast support, Nordic Capital aims to help Vivecti achieve its mission: to be the trusted partner of choice for healthcare providers across Europe, transforming care delivery through digital solutions, operational excellence and a culture of partnership.

Three questions to Dr. Benjamin Behar, CEO:

1. How has the rebranding strengthened Vivecti Group?
It has been a pivotal milestone, enabling us to present a cohesive identity and clearly communicate our value proposition as a full-service partner. The rebranding reflects our evolved approach, strengthens trust, facilitates natural collaboration across the group, and sharpens our profile at a time when healthcare providers face unprecedented financial and structural challenges. This positions Vivecti Group as a trusted, integrated partner best placed to support them through transformation. At the same time, the rebranding has united our specialist brands under one strong identity, both externally and internally.

2. What support has Nordic Capital provided to achieve this transformation?
Nordic Capital has been instrumental, and their support has gone far beyond financial means. They have been a true partner in shaping our strategic direction and their deep sector and operational expertise and broad network have provided strong guidance as we pursued a more integrated platform approach and digital transformation. With their backing, we have executed a focused M&A strategy and accelerated our growth and market leadership.

3. What does the future hold for Vivecti Group?
The future is promising. Healthcare is undergoing rapid transformation and Vivecti is uniquely positioned to lead in this evolving landscape, thanks to our integrated, tech-enabled platform and our ability to deliver savings, transparency and resilience for our partners. As we look toward the future, our vision remains the same: to be the undisputed partner of choice, helping to build a sustainable and high-performing healthcare ecosystem for the future.
