Summary of the contracting process

East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust buys vascular services for patients referred to its Vascular Service, covering vein assessments, scans and interventions. The service is delivered to patients in East Sussex. This is a healthcare services requirement rather than a supply of equipment or general clinical support: providers need to deliver vascular assessment and diagnostic scanning, with the ability to provide interventions for referred patients. The buyer is East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust, based in St Leonards-on-Sea. The contract records relate to the same service and named provider, Cooden Medical Clinic, located in Bexhill. The procurement is therefore most relevant to providers able to deliver patient-facing vascular care for an NHS trust and serve referrals within East Sussex.

The contract has been awarded to Cooden Medical Clinic through the Provider Selection Regime, using direct award process C. The formal award date is 28 October 2024. Services were intended to run from 28 October 2024 to 31 April 2025, and the estimated contract lifetime value was £250,000. A further active award and contract record is also present, with a contract signed on 13 October 2026, but it does not state a value or service period. The procurement data describes one lot, marked cancelled, while recording active awards for the same lot; the award amendment confirms the formal award. The service was assessed on price. Bid statistics record one bid, from an SME, with the lowest and highest valid bid both £50,000.

This award shows demand from East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust for a defined vascular pathway: vein assessments, scans and interventions for patients referred to the Trust’s Vascular Service. A credible competitor when this requirement next comes to market would need clinical capability across those activities, capacity to handle the Trust’s referrals, and the ability to serve patients in East Sussex. The outcome also indicates that the buyer used a direct award under the Provider Selection Regime and that price was the stated assessment criterion. The recorded bidder was an SME, so a provider of smaller scale was represented in the competition. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate that their service model can meet the assessment, imaging and intervention needs together, while offering competitive pricing for a focused local NHS service.
