Summary of the contracting process

The Queen Elizabeth Hospital King's Lynn NHS Foundation Trust initiated a procurement process titled "West Suffolk NHSFT - Barium Swallow Exam support" under the services category, specifically for medical hospital services. The procurement aimed to provide Barium Swallow Exam support to QEHKL patients. This tender process, governed by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, commenced on 10th September 2024, marking the start of the standstill period. However, the process has been abandoned with no contract awarded. Despite the standstill period initially set to end by 18th September 2024, the procurement did not proceed to award stage. The tender called for high-quality, cost-effective medical services responsive to departmental requirements, with an intended contract duration from 18/09/2024 to 31/03/2025. The procurement method was limited, which meant no prior publication of a call for competition. This tender presented business growth opportunities mainly for healthcare service providers with a strong background in medical hospital services. Specifically, businesses adept at delivering high-quality barium swallow examinations at standard NHS tariffs would have been well-suited to compete. This type of procurement, focusing on a speciality medical service within the healthcare industry, would have catered to experienced and resource-equipped providers, particularly those who could demonstrate cost-effectiveness and responsiveness to the hospital's departmental needs. Despite the process's cancellation, understanding such tender specifics can help businesses better prepare for similar opportunities in the future.
