Summary of the contracting process

Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust procured diagnostic endoscopy insourcing services. The requirement is for additional clinical capacity to provide diagnostic endoscopy through an insourcing service, under the health services category (CPV 85100000). Delivery is in England, for the Trust’s services in the Mid and South Essex area. The buyer is Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust. The procurement concerns services rather than goods, construction or equipment supply, and is focused on clinical delivery of diagnostic endoscopy. The selected supplier is a recruitment and healthcare services business, indicating that the requirement involves the provision and management of suitably qualified clinical personnel and associated service delivery, rather than a standalone medical equipment purchase.

This procurement has been awarded and the process is complete. It was a selective mini-competition call-off from the HTE TWS (3) Clinical Insourcing Solutions Framework. Bids were due by 17 June 2026 at 12:00. The award was made on 30 June 2026, with a contract period from 1 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. The awarded value is £2,979,000. Your World Recruitment Limited was selected as the supplier for the full requirement. The published procurement data identifies the procedure as a framework call-off and the opportunity as a services contract. The procurement was marked as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award is relevant to suppliers able to provide diagnostic endoscopy insourcing at NHS service scale, with the clinical workforce, operational management and delivery systems needed to support a Trust’s diagnostic activity. A credible competitor would need experience coordinating qualified endoscopy personnel and delivering safe, reliable clinical services within an NHS environment, while meeting the practical demands of a defined service period and substantial delivery programme. Access to the relevant clinical insourcing framework, or a route into any successor framework used by the Trust, would be important because this requirement was awarded through a framework mini-competition. The procurement’s exclusion of SMEs and VCSEs indicates that future competitors are likely to need established organisational capacity, proven healthcare delivery capability and the resources to manage a sizeable NHS service requirement.
