Summary of the contracting process

This Public Contract focuses on the procurement of Bone Donation Services for the Leicester Bone and Tissue Bank by the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust. The procurement falls within the "Hospital and related services" industry category (CPV 85110000) and is governed under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Regulations 2023 rather than the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. This intention to award notice, set for 9th September 2024, signals the start of a standstill period, with representations due by 20th September 2024. The awarded contract will be made after the standstill period, with the contracting authority planning to award it to Practice Plus Group Hospitals Limited (Barlborough Hospital). The key stakeholders in the decision included clinical service procurement and commissioning teams, and oversight was provided by an Orthopaedic Surgeon and the Tissue Bank General Manager. The service will be centrally managed at Glenfield Hospital, Leicester (UKF2 region), with the service provider located just over an hour away by car in Barlborough, Chesterfield (UKF1 region). The projected contract duration is from 1st April 2024 onwards and has a nominal value recorded for registration purposes.

This contract offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in healthcare services, particularly those specialising in bone donation and tissue banking. It opens avenues for large-scale healthcare providers capable of offering specialised staff and facility space while adhering to the PSR's rigorous standards for quality, innovation, and collaboration. Given the emphasis on sustainability, minimal fees, and social value—including efforts to reduce health inequalities—businesses in these sectors can leverage this contract to build a robust relationship with the NHS Trust. Firms with strong supply chains in medical equipment servicing, experience in managing satellite services, and apt staffing for round-the-clock operations will be well-positioned to compete and contribute to the seamless operation of this critical healthcare service.
