Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured an insourced consultant oral surgery service to provide additional weekend general anaesthetic (GA) theatre lists. The requirement is for medical personnel to support extra operating sessions, rather than a purchase of equipment or supplies. Delivery is associated with Watford, with the recorded delivery address in WD18; the procurement also lists other UK and wider destinations. The Trust is based in Welwyn Garden City. The work is relevant to providers able to supply consultant-level oral surgery capacity for weekend GA theatre activity within a hospital setting.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Intersource Medical Services Ltd on 10 September 2026. The awarded contract value is £82,500. The contract period runs from 3 October 2026 to 29 March 2027. The Trust used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The original estimated value was also £82,500, and the response deadline was 23 September 2026. The requirement was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award confirms selection of a supplier for the stated service; no separate lot awards or evaluation weighting are recorded in the process information.

For suppliers considering this buyer’s future oral surgery requirements, the award demonstrates demand for consultant capacity to run additional weekend theatre lists under general anaesthetic. A credible competitor would need to provide appropriately qualified consultant oral surgeons and the operational ability to staff weekend sessions in a hospital theatre environment. Experience coordinating insourced clinical personnel for additional operating lists would be relevant to the requirement. The route used was a framework call-off, so suppliers seeking comparable work would need access to the relevant framework and the capacity to respond to a selective call-off. The Trust’s indication that the requirement suited SMEs suggests that a specialist provider may be able to compete, provided it can meet the clinical and delivery demands.
