Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS England has awarded a contract titled "Overseas Sponsorship - Doctors and Dentists" under the industry category of administrative healthcare services. The procurement process utilised a limited, negotiated procedure without prior publication due to its above-threshold nature. The value of the contract stands at £135,650, with the NHS Business Services Authority acting as the supplier. The contract period will commence on 1 May 2024 and conclude on 11 July 2025, with notable dates including the tender period ending on 1 April 2024 and the award date being 19 February 2025. This contract primarily covers administrative support for visa processing for doctors and dentists in the United Kingdom.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses capable of providing high-standard administrative support services, particularly those experienced in the healthcare sector. Although the procurement method was limited and did not encourage participation from SMEs or VCSEs, large-scale organisations with a solid track record in visa administration and support services would be well-suited to compete for similar future opportunities. By fostering relationships with key entities such as NHS England and demonstrating expertise in managing essential healthcare administrative functions, businesses can enhance their profiles and expand their market presence.
