Summary of the contracting process

The University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust has awarded a contract for Diabetes and Endocrinology Support services under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR). This contract has been granted to South Doc Services Limited for an 8-week period from 20 February 2025 to 30 April 2025. The procurement falls under the Healthcare Services category (CPV: 85112200) and aims to support national and regional performance targets. The contract was awarded through a direct award process without a competitive exercise due to the short duration and immediate need for continuity. The total contract value is £45,000, and the location of delivery is within the Birmingham region (UKG31).

This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in outpatient care services, particularly those capable of delivering continuity in diabetes and endocrinology support. Smaller enterprises with a proven track record in healthcare delivery and the ability to meet NHS performance expectations are ideally positioned to succeed in this sector. By engaging with such procurement activities, businesses can enhance their visibility within the healthcare industry and leverage short-term contracts to build stronger, long-term relationships with prominent NHS trusts, potentially securing further contracts in the future.
