Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust involves a Direct Award Process for a phlebotomy service at Clacton Diagnostic Centre. This procurement falls under the hospital services industry category and involves a limited procurement method without a prior call for competition, focusing on services within the UKH14 region. The contract has been awarded to GP Primary Choice (GPPC), with the service provision scheduled from 1st April 2025 to 30th September 2025. The procurement stage has been completed with the award announced on 23rd April 2025, following an Intend to Award Notice published on 1st April 2025, and a contract value of £147,328.42 over six months.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses with expertise in hospital services, particularly those experienced in delivering phlebotomy services. The contract has already been awarded using a direct award process, suggesting limited competition which may benefit small to medium enterprises like GP Primary Choice, capable of delivering specialised healthcare services. Companies considering similar procurement processes can leverage the streamlined requirements under the Direct Award Process C, allowing for strategic growth in healthcare service delivery when conventional bidding processes might pose barriers.
