Grip on contracts.
Grip on invoices.
Notice periods that slip by unnoticed, renewals that roll on, invoices that no longer add up since the healthcare VAT on residential areas changed. GRIP brings contract management and financial management together in one place, so the focus can stay where it belongs: on good care.
From hospital to care home
NIS-2. Many healthcare organizations fall under NIS-2: hospitals directly, long-term care often through designation or via the supply chain.
See how GRIP helps →Healthcare organizations have long dealt with supplier obligations arising from the Wkkgz (duty to verify), NEN 7510 and the GDPR. NIS-2 adds digital supply-chain responsibility on top: suppliers with access to systems or secured zones fall under it too. These obligations flow from sector-specific legislation and NIS-2 side by side, not from a single law.
The challenges of contract management in healthcare
Complex property portfolio
From hospital campus to care homes and clinics: every location has its own facility needs and contracts.
Strict hygiene standards
Cleaning quality is critical in healthcare. How do you objectively measure whether suppliers meet infection-prevention requirements?
Cost pressure in healthcare
With rising healthcare costs, a firm grip on facility spending is essential. Since the healthcare VAT change, the correct VAT rate per room counts too.
24/7 operation
Care never stops. Facility services must perform continuously, but how do you monitor performance day and night?
See what your healthcare contracts really say

- ✓Notice periods and renewals monitored automatically

Healthcare VAT is part of a grip on your contract too
Since 1 July 2025, a different VAT rate applies to cleaning in residential areas within healthcare. In a spreadsheet that is manual work. Manual work is error-prone, especially in hybrid spaces used for both living and working.
GRIP Financial Management is the source you check your invoices against: the correct VAT rate per room, hybrid spaces included, rates and standards that carry through with every change and invoices checked automatically against what was agreed.
- ✓VAT rate automatically correct per room, hybrid included
- ✓Changes in buildings processed straight into the calculation
- ✓Invoices checked against the source, including approved additional work
“We can now genuinely stay in control of our cleaning contract. Changes to our buildings are processed quickly and we always know where we stand.”

Frequently asked questions about GRIP for healthcare
What about the new healthcare VAT?
Since 1 July 2025, a different VAT rate applies to cleaning in residential areas within healthcare. GRIP applies the correct rate per room, including hybrid spaces used for both living and working. You no longer work with a crude choice between 9% and 21%, but with the correct split per room. Patyna already did this: read how above.

What is the difference between the Contract Dashboard and Financial Management?
