Summary of the contracting process

Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust procured diagnostic endoscopy insourcing services: bringing in external clinical capacity to deliver diagnostic endoscopy. The requirement is a healthcare service, delivered for the Trust in Essex; the listed delivery postcode is SS16 5NL. The procurement was described as a call-off award following a mini-competition under the HealthTrust Europe Total Workforce Solutions 3 Clinical Insourcing Solutions framework. This is a specific clinical staffing and service-delivery requirement, rather than a purchase of endoscopy equipment. The awarded supplier, Your World Recruitment Limited, is a recruitment company, indicating that the selected delivery model involved externally supplied workforce capacity for the Trust’s diagnostic endoscopy service.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. The Trust used a selective framework call-off and mini-competition. The submission deadline was 17 June 2026, and the award date was 30 June 2026. Two active award entries name Your World Recruitment Limited and report values of £2,979,000 and £2,589,576 respectively; each gives the same contract period, 1 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. The tender’s estimated value was £2,589,576. No lots are identified. Evaluation criteria and supplier eligibility requirements are not described in the available procurement details.

For suppliers considering a future requirement of this kind, the award demonstrates demand from Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust for externally supplied diagnostic endoscopy capacity. A credible competitor would need to provide the clinical workforce and operational capability to support diagnostic endoscopy delivery within an NHS trust, and to compete through a framework-based mini-competition route. Recruitment and clinical insourcing expertise are directly relevant to the delivery model evidenced by the selected supplier. The procurement does not set out specific professional accreditations, staffing numbers, experience thresholds or performance requirements, so these cannot be treated as established conditions for competing. The recorded contract scale indicates a substantial, time-limited service rather than a small standalone staffing assignment.
