Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process undertaken by James Paget University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, located in Gorleston-on-Sea, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, focuses on the urgent insourcing of Clinical Services in Dermatology. Classified under hospital services, this contract falls within the services category. Due to unforeseeable circumstances involving a sudden shortage of clinical staff, the contract was awarded through a limited procurement method under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) regulations, avoiding the usual Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Portland Clinical Ltd is the chosen provider, with the contract starting on 11th July 2025 and ending on 10th July 2026, setting precedence for the Trust's immediate operational needs.

This contract presents substantial opportunities for large-scale businesses that specialise in providing urgent and high-quality clinical services, particularly in Dermatology. Businesses experienced in working under pressure to mobilise services swiftly would find this particularly suited to their capabilities. Organisations looking to expand their services within the NHS framework, especially those with a track record of addressing patient safety and quality of care, can benefit from engaging in contracts of a similar nature. This process underscores the critical role that strategic, experienced suppliers play in the healthcare sector, particularly under circumstances demanding immediate response and action.

Lot Information

Lot 1

This is an insourced service and the sub-contractor is providing a Consultant-led Dermatology Service / staffing resource who can perform minor op procedures. This contract is being awarded as an urgent award. The contract is awarded for 1 year starting on 11/07/2025 and ending on 10/07/2026.

Procurement Information

The Trust believes that it has followed the PSR regulations relating to the Urgent award as it has been made urgently, the reason for the award was not foreseeable and delaying the award would pose a risk to patient safety. Due to the sudden unplanned loss of vital clinical personnel, it was not foreseeable that this impact would take place and there is a significant risk to patient safety should the Trust not urgently award in these circumstances. This is due to increasing waiting times - including those for suspected cancer patients. As per the urgent guidelines the contract has been awarded to a provider the Trust has worked with previously due to the need to mobilise at pace.
