Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust is currently in the planning stage for a tender titled "Telemedicine and Virtual Ward Services." This initiative aims to establish a new framework agreement or a Dynamic Market to enhance the delivery of virtual ward and telemedicine services within the NHS, focusing on areas such as elective recovery and hospital-at-home models. The procurement is set to progress based on a market need assessment and will incorporate feedback from the market. Key deadlines include a planned future notice date on 10 June 2026, and the contract period is expected to start from 1 December 2026 and could extend until 2 December 2034. The project is situated in London, under the services category with significant involvement from public authority central government bodies.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses, particularly those involved in the healthcare and telemedicine sectors, to expand by contributing innovative solutions to NHS digital health objectives. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in pharmacy services and telehealth technologies are positioned well to compete in this tender, offering them a pathway to enhance their visibility and influence within the NHS framework. The involvement in such a framework agreement could potentially lead to a long-term partnership and increased market presence.
