Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust procured an insourced dermatology medical and surgical resource, covering specialist dermatology services (CPV 85121282). The requirement is for clinical capacity to support dermatology work within the Trust’s health service operations. Delivery is associated with the Trust’s site at Charles Hastings Way, Worcester, WR5 1DD, and the wider United Kingdom. The named buying organisation is Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust. The procurement is therefore relevant to providers of dermatology-led medical and surgical services, particularly organisations able to supply an insourced clinical team or resource to an NHS hospital. Although the structured category is recorded as goods, the stated requirement and classification describe a healthcare service rather than the supply of physical products.

This procurement has been completed and awarded to Xyla Services. The award was made on 29 May 2026 for £2,583,053.60, inclusive of the stated GBP value, with a contract period from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2028. The tender submission deadline was 29 May 2026 at 12:00 BST. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement, rather than an open standalone competition. Xyla Services is the selected supplier. The published procurement value and awarded value are the same: £2,583,053.60. The process concerns a single dermatology resource requirement, with no separate lot awards reported. The outcome provides a clear benchmark for the scale and duration of the Trust’s current dermatology commissioning.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible suppliers would need to provide dermatology clinicians and supporting medical and surgical capability suitable for NHS hospital delivery. Relevant strengths would include experience of insourced dermatology services, safe management of outpatient and procedural workloads, clinical governance, workforce mobilisation and the capacity to maintain reliable service delivery at hospital scale. Providers should be able to demonstrate appropriately qualified staff, robust quality and safeguarding arrangements, effective referral and patient-record processes, and the ability to work within NHS operational standards. The award to Xyla Services shows that the buyer selected an established service provider through a framework call-off. The stated suitability position indicates that this opportunity was not intended for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.
