Summary of the contracting process

The "Outsourcing Orthopaedic Surgical Services" contract has been awarded by the Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, a public health authority, under the Provider Selection Regime Regulations 2023. This contract involves the provision of health services to address the demand for orthopaedic procedures and was awarded to Nuffield Health Limited. The procurement process followed a limited method without prior publication of a call for competition, and it is classified under the services category with a CPV code of 85100000 (Health services). The contract is valued at £380,584 and covers the period from 28th July 2025 to 31st December 2025. The service location is the Grosvenor Hospital in Chester, situated in the UKD region.

This tender presents significant opportunities for healthcare service providers, particularly those with expertise in handling increased demands for surgical procedures. Businesses that can offer innovative solutions or efficiencies in orthopaedic services would be well-suited to this contract, especially if they hold the capability to manage extensions, as the contract provides an option to extend by an additional three months. Given the contract's limited procurement method, it is an excellent opportunity for businesses with established relationships and the capacity to handle the specific health service needs without the usual competitive bidding environment. Nuffield Health Limited, classified as an SME, has succeeded in securing this contract, indicating potential encouragement for similar small to medium enterprises in the healthcare sector.
