Summary of the contracting process

West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust procured an insourced endoscopy service for West Suffolk Hospital in Bury St Edmunds. The service is intended to help clear an urgent backlog of approximately 1,440 endoscopy procedures. Procedures are to be delivered at weekends, primarily on Sundays, at the hospital. This is a healthcare service rather than a supply or construction contract, classified under health services. The requirement covers the provider’s delivery of endoscopy procedures in a hospital setting, supporting the Trust’s need to complete outstanding work within a defined operational programme. The buying organisation is West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust, based in Bury St Edmunds, and delivery is centred on West Suffolk Hospital there.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 7 November 2025 at 12:00 GMT. The overall estimated value was £374,319. The contract period runs from 3 January 2026 to 30 October 2026, with the service intended to address the backlog within 20 weeks of the start and complete the procedures by the end of the 2025/26 year. MEDINET CLINICAL SERVICES LTD was awarded the contract on 3 January 2026. The award value was £50,000 for an initial period ending 30 April 2026, followed by a further award of £374,319 covering the period to 30 October 2026. The procurement was for services and was not reserved for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award indicates demand from West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust for external clinical capacity to deliver endoscopy services in a hospital environment, particularly where an urgent backlog requires rapid additional throughput. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would need an established endoscopy service, clinicians and support staff able to work safely within NHS hospital procedures, and the operational capacity to provide concentrated weekend activity, especially on Sundays. Credible providers would also need to manage a substantial volume of procedures, coordinate with the hospital, and mobilise a service capable of meeting short delivery windows. The route to market was a framework call-off, so relevant suppliers would benefit from understanding framework-based NHS procurement and maintaining the governance, clinical assurance and delivery controls expected for insourced healthcare services.
