Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the contract titled "Discharge to Assess - Apace Support Services Limited" was conducted by the North East London NHS Foundation Trust. This process falls under the services category, specifically classified as hospital services, and is located in the UKI52 region. The procurement stage has reached completion with the awarding of the contract on 1st July 2025. The process utilised a limited procurement method, described as an award procedure without prior publication due to technical reasons, following PSR process B. The contract, valued at £1,200,000, was awarded to Apace Support Services Limited, addressing the essential requirement for hospital-related services without a prior competitive call for tender.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those capable of providing unique technical solutions that others cannot. Given the specialised nature of the services required, businesses that can demonstrate a lack of competition due to their technical prowess stand to benefit substantially. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Apace Support Services Limited, which specialise in the delivery of hospital services, are well-positioned to capitalise on similar opportunities in the future, especially within the context of specially tailored procurement processes aimed at addressing specific service gaps.
