Summary of the contracting process

Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust procured ENT clinical insourcing services. The requirement is for specialist ear, nose and throat healthcare delivery to support the Trust’s clinical activity, provided at the Trust’s location in England. This is a services contract within the health services category. The selected supplier is a clinical services business, indicating that the work involves supplying appropriately qualified clinical capacity rather than equipment, construction or general consultancy. The buying organisation is Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust, and the requirement is specific to its ENT service. Businesses operating in outsourced hospital clinical services, ENT provision, consultant-led care or related healthcare staffing would find the subject matter relevant.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 29 July 2026 to Medinet Clinical Services Ltd. It followed a selective mini-competition under the HTE TWS (3) Clinical Insourcing Solutions Framework, using a framework call-off route. The tender submission deadline was 18 June 2026 at 12:00. The awarded value is £701,972.92. The wider estimated procurement range was £701,972.92 minimum to £771,546.06 maximum. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. The published outcome identifies the successful supplier and an active award. The procurement record does not set out a separate price, quality or technical weighting, so the stated evaluation basis is the mini-competition process under the framework.

This award demonstrates demand from Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust for a defined package of ENT clinical insourcing delivered through a specialist healthcare framework. A credible future competitor would need access to the relevant framework route, the ability to provide ENT clinical services at NHS hospital scale, and sufficient qualified clinical personnel and operational management to deliver an insourcing programme for the Trust. The selected supplier is recorded as an SME, showing that a smaller specialist provider can satisfy the requirement through this route, although the tender was not marked as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. Relevant experience should include safe delivery of outsourced NHS clinical capacity, workforce mobilisation, governance, scheduling and performance management.
