UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Queen Elizabeth Hospital King's Lynn NHS Foundation Trust has completed the procurement of a "Hospital Discharge Support" service, which was awarded on 15th May 2025. Situated in King's Lynn, UK, the project falls under the healthcare services industry category. The procurement was initiated as a tender and employed a limited competition method, focusing on providing an effective solution for hospital discharge for medically stable patients. With the contract award now active, the supplier, Carehome Selection Limited, will commence service delivery from 1st June 2025 to 31st May 2026, covering the UK region. The gross value of the contract is £230,400, aligning under a light-touch procurement regime due to its below-threshold classification.

This tender offers substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for organisations specialising in administrative healthcare services. Businesses with capabilities to manage hospital discharge processes can leverage this contract to expand their footprint in the healthcare sector. While the contract was awarded through limited competition, similar future procurement opportunities may arise for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and larger entities alike. Given the demonstrated engagement of SMEs in the tendering process, services tailored around patient care transition and support systems would be highly competitive. Companies looking to offer innovative solutions in healthcare administration could find fruitful prospects in such tenders.
