Summary of the contracting process

The Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust is overseeing a procurement process for the provision of outpatient ENT services, detailed under the title "ENT Outpatients Service". This process, classified under the CPV category for "ENT or audiologist services", is specifically for services to be delivered in the UKD3 region, with activities centred around Salford. The current stage is an 'intention to award' notice under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR), bypassing the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The standstill period commenced with the publication of this notice on 17th July 2025, and providers have until 29th July 2025 to submit any representations. Although the contract remains unawarded, the estimated start and end dates are 1st August 2025 and 31st July 2026, respectively, with a contractual value of £40,000.

The tender proposes lucrative opportunities for healthcare providers, particularly those specialising in ENT services, to engage in a contract with a reputable NHS body. Given the focus on offering a high standard of service, businesses with a track record in consistently meeting health service criteria are in a favourable position to benefit. The tender value and scope might especially appeal to SMEs seeking to augment their portfolio with public sector contracts. Beacon Medical Services Group Limited is the anticipated awardee, indicating the possibilities for similar firms in the healthcare industry to align with public health service demands and standards. This contract promises a stable operational period with defined financial assurances, advantageous for firms looking to leverage a strategic partnership within the NHS framework.
