Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust procured oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) insourcing services. The requirement is for clinical services delivered for the Trust, covering health services at its sites in Westcliff-on-Sea, Essex, and elsewhere in England as identified for the requirement. This is a specialist healthcare service rather than the supply of goods or construction works. The Trust is the buying organisation and the procurement concerns a single service requirement. The scope is described as a call-off award for OMFS insourcing, indicating that the appointed provider will supply clinical capacity and related service delivery to support the Trust’s OMFS provision. The relevant health-services classification is CPV 85100000.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following a mini-competition under the HTE TWS (3) Clinical Insourcing Solutions Framework. It used a selective procedure and a framework call-off method. The tender deadline was 18 June 2026 at 12:00. The award was made on 28 August 2026 to 18 Week Support Limited for £624,303.36, including the published award value in GBP. The awarded contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The contract was evaluated through the framework mini-competition process. The opportunity was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active.

For suppliers that did not win, this award confirms demand from Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust for specialist OMFS clinical insourcing delivered through a healthcare framework and mini-competition. A credible competitor when this requirement next reaches the market would need the clinical capability to provide OMFS services, sufficient workforce and operational capacity to support the Trust’s service needs, and the ability to operate through the relevant Clinical Insourcing Solutions Framework or an equivalent future purchasing route. The completed award also indicates a substantial, time-limited service requirement rather than an isolated purchase of equipment. Providers should therefore be able to demonstrate reliable delivery of specialist healthcare services for an NHS foundation trust and compete effectively through a structured framework process.
