Summary of the contracting process

NHS England, in collaboration with NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit, has completed a procurement process for a comprehensive fertility preservation service. The service is focused on preserving and using reproductive tissue for individuals at high risk of infertility, encompassing three main lots: Hub services, Tissue Establishment, and Fertility & Endocrine Restoration Services. The procurement, led under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, follows an open procedure aimed at initiating services no later than July 1, 2026. The contracts for each lot have been awarded to notable institutions such as University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust. The service will primarily cater to regions across the UK including the North East, North West, Yorkshire & Humber, Midlands, East of England, London, South East, and South West, under a five-year contract with an option to extend for up to 58 months.

This contract presents significant growth opportunities for organisations in the healthcare services sector, particularly those specialising in fertility and endocrine treatments. The structure divided into specific lots allows both large-scale providers and expert-led niche specialists to engage in partnerships or consortia, potentially collaborating across regions to ensure a sustained delivery of services that meet stringent quality standards as set by NHS England. Businesses with established expertise in coordinating multi-site operations alongside maintaining compliance with the Human Tissue Authority regulations will find competitive advantage, broadening their operational scope while contributing to reducing health inequalities. This procurement, thus, invites organisations that can innovate and elevate service sustainability within the healthcare domain.
