Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for "The Princess Alexandra NHS Hospital Trust and HWE ICB 2025-26" is spearheaded by the NHS Hertfordshire and West Essex Integrated Care Board in the UKH23 region. This contract focuses on health services, specifically acute services including Accident & Emergency. Initially initiated as a tender, the contract has progressed to the award stage as of 10th July 2025, with the completion marked on 27th June 2025. This procurement employed a limited procedure, specifically an award procedure without prior publication due to the unique requirements that can only be met by the existing provider, Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust, the sole supplier.

This tender represents significant business growth potential for large healthcare providers, particularly those with expertise in acute health services. The contract's substantial value, reaching £360,839,204 for the specified financial year, exemplifies the scale of delivery expected. While the opportunities are best suited for existing providers of similar services—owing to the critical nature of these healthcare provisions—other large healthcare organisations can explore subcontracting roles or partnership opportunities with Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust, thereby broadening their involvement in public healthcare service delivery.
