Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust procured an insourced urology outpatient service, described as “Urology OPA”. The requirement falls within health services and concerns delivery in Worcester, at the Trust’s site on Charles Hastings Way, WR5 1DD. The service is intended to provide urology outpatient activity through an external healthcare supplier rather than solely through the Trust’s own resources. This is a service contract for a healthcare provider with the operational ability to deliver outpatient urology work in an NHS hospital setting. The named buying organisation is Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust, based in Worcester. The procurement is not identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust selected OUTPATIENT NETWORK LIMITED on 14 August 2026. The awarded value is £101,592, and the contract runs from 15 August 2026 to 14 September 2026. The procurement was a selective call-off from a framework agreement, rather than a standalone open tender. The tender submission deadline was 14 August 2026 at 12:00. It was classified as a services contract with an estimated value of £101,592. The award is active and covers the single stated urology outpatient requirement. The recorded contract period is one month, and the process reached completion following the award decision.

This award demonstrates a defined NHS requirement for outsourced urology outpatient capacity at Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust. A credible future competitor would need to provide clinicians and operational support capable of delivering urology outpatient activity safely and reliably in a hospital environment, while working within NHS clinical, governance and administrative arrangements. The successful supplier is an SME healthcare business, showing that specialist delivery capability can matter alongside organisational scale. Suppliers would also need access to the relevant framework route, or a route into an equivalent future procurement, and the capacity to mobilise a focused outpatient service for the Trust. Relevant experience in urology outpatient provision, NHS interfaces, patient scheduling and clinical quality management would strengthen a competing proposition.
