Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Insourcing Pre-op" contract was overseen by The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust, located at New Cross Hospital, Wolverhampton. This contract falls under the industry category of Medical Hospital Services, specifically focused on pre-operative assessment clinic support. The procurement process is in the "award" stage, with an active contract awarded to 18 WEEK SUPPORT LIMITED, valued at £131,124. The contract period extends from 24 September 2025 to 24 December 2025. Notably, the procurement method used was limited, bypassing a traditional call for competition due to urgent requirements related to patient care delays.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in medical support services, particularly those with capabilities in pre-operative assessment assistance. Companies with a proven track record in delivering comprehensive medical services and addressing NHS procedural backlogs would be ideal candidates to compete for similar future tenders. Additionally, large-scale service providers can find growth opportunities in the NHS sector, leveraging their extensive resources and experience in healthcare service delivery to support initiatives like reducing prompt treatment waiting times (RTT). The procurement strategy underscores a demand for efficient support services that directly impact patient care delivery and operational efficiency within NHS facilities.
