Summary of the contracting process

East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust is procuring a managed service for the provision of renal dialysis services. The requirement is hospital dialysis provision, covering the delivery of clinical renal replacement services through a managed service arrangement. The buyer is based in Ipswich, and the listed delivery location includes Ipswich, the United Kingdom, Europe, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. This is a healthcare services opportunity rather than a supply-only contract or construction project. It is relevant to providers that can organise and deliver renal dialysis services for an NHS foundation trust, including the associated managed-service responsibilities required to provide the service.

The process reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure under the Provider Selection Regime. The tender submission deadline set by the buyer was 7 September 2026 at 3:00pm. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2034. Its stated total value is £75,000,000 including the published currency of GBP. The procurement is classified as hospital dialysis services. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Providers were directed to register or log in to the MultiQuote supplier system and quote CA18304 to access the competition. The tender description refers to qualified providers expressing an interest in participating in the tender exercise.

This opportunity suits qualified renal healthcare providers and managed-service operators with the clinical capability to provide hospital dialysis services for an NHS foundation trust. Suppliers will need experience relevant to renal dialysis delivery and the organisational capacity to support a managed service over a long-term contract. The requirement is also marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so established specialist SMEs may be well placed to compete, either as lead providers or through suitable delivery arrangements. Businesses whose core work is limited to general healthcare administration, unrelated medical supplies, construction or non-clinical services are unlikely to find the requirement relevant. The strongest fit is a provider able to combine renal dialysis expertise with dependable service management and sustained operational delivery.
