Summary of the contracting process

The Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust has awarded a contract for Ear, Nose and Throat services on 1st August 2023. The procurement process was urgent, with no competition due to technical reasons around regional capacity for additional ENT work. The contract aims to outsource these services to the private sector, as in-house insourcing was not feasible. The award went to RSA Surgical Medical, with a contract value of £3,500,000.

This tender presents an opportunity for medical service providers specialising in surgical hospital services to grow their business. Given the urgent nature of the procurement, businesses with the capability to quickly provide high-quality Ear, Nose and Throat services to adult patients would be well-suited to compete. The procurement method used was a negotiated procedure without publication of a contract notice, emphasising the need for prompt service delivery in the healthcare sector.
