The public procurement process is managed by NHS England, focusing on the provision of inpatient and outpatient healthcare services and hospital capacity as part of the response to the Covid-19 pandemic in England. Tendered under a limited procurement method due to extreme urgency, the title of the process is "Q4 Arrangements for the Provision of the Inpatient and Outpatient Healthcare Services and Hospital Capacity". The current stage of this procurement is complete, with contracts awarded on 25 April 2022, reflecting a total estimated expenditure across multiple awards exceeding £680 million. These services were aimed at bolstering healthcare capacity to meet the rising demand caused by the Omicron variant of Covid-19 across the UK.

This tender represents substantial opportunities for healthcare providers, particularly those engaged in inpatient and outpatient services, hospital management, and healthcare support services. Businesses in the healthcare industry, including both NHS-funded and private health service providers, would be well-suited to compete in future similar procurement activities, as the contracts awarded reflect the urgent need for healthcare services. The short-term nature of these contracts, typically lasting three months, allows for agility and responsiveness from suppliers that can efficiently ramp up capacity in crisis situations.
